Thank you Izy. Your tute inspired me to use this method on a Happy Daisy quilt I'm making for my friend! It is coming along beautifully. I just didn't have the patience to do needle turn this time and since it will be for her couch I knew it would get alot of use and washings so your method is perfect.
I did a couple of things differently that I want to share. I did it this way because I am kind of lazy and didn't want to cut templates over and over again. So far I have done six blocks and the templates are in perfect condition for reuse.
- I ironed two freezer paper sheets together so that the template is a bit stiffer.
- Once the ironing has produced a beautiful curve I remove the freezer paper and use a pin drop of Elmer's School Glue on the petal points so that they stay crisp.
- I used Elmer's School Glue to attach the pieces on my background fabric. That resulted in zero shifting as I did the top stitching.
I am loving the results. Thank you so much for sharing.
