Lightbulb "Did you piece the circles in or applique them on?"

[QUOTE=LAF2019;8474473]That is so adorable! did you piece the circles in or applique them on? how was it working with the minky?
I would echo around the whales and bubbles and maybe add some interest at the blow hole spouts. otherwise some kind of wavy/water design would be nice

I appliqued the circles and the whale eyes.. Here is how I did it:

Lay square of minky, right side up, next place interfacing with traced shape on top of minky square. Sew on the traced shape. Trim outside the traced, sewn lines using a pinking shears. Once you have cut your shape out (circles and whale eyes)....carefully cut a slit in the interfacing and turn the minky through the slit. Now you have your minky shape as you see it on my quilt.
