I must be brain damaged. That's the only explanation I have for the stoopid thing I did.
I had 3 DJ blocks pieced and set aside to do the appliqué on while I honed my needle turn skills. Finally, the time arrived and I knocked two of them off in the last two evenings.
Because I was going to appliqué them and *handle* them a lot, I didn't trim them down to 5" before hand.
While sitting and watching TV I appliqued. I "eye-balled" the placement of the leaves. Not a problem, I'm good at "eye ball".
However ... I neglected to check that my appliqué was going to reside entirely within the 5" of the block!!
I just went into the sewing room to trim them down, and one of them ALL FOUR leaves have to be removed and re-sewn. The other only one leaf.
Dang and blast it!!!
