drunkard's path

Once again, going through my leftover fabrics and made this one.

Question - I used the heat bond interface - it's ind of stiff. Once I applique the edges and quilt it and I can wash it, does the stiffness of the interface go away?

Thanks all.

In my experience, interfacing usually softens with washing.

Are those shapes ironed on or pieced? Heat and Bond iron on adhesive does not soften much. The one you can stitch through is better than the one that is meant for crafts and can't be stitched.

The shapes are ironed on. I ironed circles onto squares and then cut them in four. This was the most common method I found online. I could have done arcs, but after doing the bali wedding star, I am kind of done with arcs for a while LOL

It said it was for applique / crafts. And you can stitch through it no problem (well, at least by machine!)

Just wanted to say it is really pretty. I don't have an answer for your question though.

My thoughts, as well.

I've used Heat and Bond Iron On in the past and it did not softened up much.

Very pretty drunkard's path.

I mostly make wall hangings with the neat melty stuff. Since they do not get washed, I can't answer your question, but I just have to say that I love the colors in your quilt. It is stunning.

I really like your quilt but the one I did I used the pellon light weight interfacing that you iron down was never stiff it is Eleanor Burns from her applique in a day book
