I made a few blocks with using applique. The instructions in the book were clear too. I will upload a few pics after I take some pics of them. They're sitting in a container waiting for me to do something with them. Like a ding dong I used a cut up sheet as the block, but I didn't know any better. Anyway, it was my first time and only time I've done applique. It truly wasn't that hard either. I was more intimidated about going around each area when I was using the satin stitch. You can see some areas where I was a little off. I'd love to get more tips, etc on applique. I think it would be neat to make my own design on each block or on a quilt
