Yours came out so nice. I do think I made a mistake by not leaving enough to turn under around the edges though.

WOW, I didn't get any notifications of all those great posts so am behind. I stopped by to say....does this pattern look familiar?
I was going through some old books and found this so had to snap it with the cell phone camera (hence the gritty and bad pix). See? those of us who were doing Suz' heart wall hanging have a heads up on Valentine's Day. :lol: It's from a 1990 book from Rodale Press.

Now for another project. This is hard to see (my apartment does NOT have good lighting) but it might give you a little bit of an idea.
I'm working on a medieval (SCA) themed quilt for a friend and this is for his birthday. Using the fabric and colors he picked out for the quilt. My friend Connie made the pillow case for me (she's made them before and I hadn't and didn't have extra fabric if I goofed---thanks Connie) and now I am appliqueing on his initials.
The green is a mottled green and the white has pigma pen (which didn't turn out well in the pix) to show the petals. I'm not sure yet if I'll take black thread to stitch over the pigma pen markings.
I have to remind myself to only work a little bit at a time on it so I don't get tired and mess it up. :lol:

I am working on a flower/pot pattern that I took from fatcatpatterns and made easier. I am finished with that and am now working on the borders....
I used sewing bias for the stems on the flower pot, but made my own bias for the borders and am finding I like my own better than the premade stuff.
I can't wait to get the borders onto the inside. I will post a picture when I do.

I am also in need of a lap board so I can work more comfortably on the applique. I posted a question about lap boards in the main section. Do any of you applique-ers use one by chance??????
