Penny, there is more than one way to do the applique. Boo did the one she likes best. I used a double sided interfacing. I ironed it on the back side of the "dolls" and then peeled off the back and pressed those in place. There are possibly others. Investigate and see what suits you.
I find the internet an intriguing place, however there are times when one word placed in the right location will make all the difference in finding what one is looking for. Like that Half Square Triangle block.
I would have done my SBS's differently, after I finished, but it was too late. My problem was that I got carried away and did not know when to stop making "dolls" Second chilhood coming on. Possibly I will make another one, in the future. Boo's quilt is Beautiful. Maybe she does not have any creativity (is that what she said) but she does have a good eye for color, and we won't let her agrue with us about that.
I also like the Script writing on her machine. Mine is 20 years old and I hope one day to get a newer one. Today I shot the wad and bought a new car. Not exactly what I had in mind to do this month, but mine was diagnosed as Terminal and the sooner I stopped driving, the safer I would be. I do want a new machine...and I wll get it. But not this month. .
Happy sewing and have a wonderful week-end all you quilters. June
