Default Wk 8 - A7, A9, A11

A7 - Back Basting Needle Turn Applique. A new technique for me. The fabric really does want to turn on the line! I didn't think it was true...melons getting better.

A9 - Paper Pieced

A11 - English Paper Pieced.
What worked: Jeana Kimball's Foxglove Cottage size 11 Straw needle and Superior Threads Bottom Line 60wt polyester thread (both new for me but small gauge needle and fine strong thread worked great for EPP!
I made the block without the additional border...figured more than one of my blocks may need a border when this goes together so I will address it then.

Great blocks all. Very inspiring.
