kaelynangelfoot, thanks for setting this up. And thanks for making everyone feel welcome. I was starting to feel overwhelmed by the thought of trying to get all 36 blocks done as I'm doing a couple BOMs and some other things. Plus I'm very new to applique. What I've decided to do is pick 12 blocks and just make those. I plan to hand applique. In December, I took a hand applique class and she showed us a couple different ways so will experiment with those to see what works best for me and that I like the best. I have attached a picture of the fabrics I've decided to use. Love seeing what others are doing and how they're doing it.
