I think whatever you choose is fine..... it's your quilt. I hardly ever stick to a pattern.... always changing something to make it like I want it.... and I never have had anyone say,..... wasn't that supposed to be something else??? So, don't fret about your choices..... just do what you want to do.

I think your block is lovely! Your stitches look amazingly uniform to me! I do both needle turn and raw edge applique. I was a hand quilter only until about 3 years ago.. I have done the technique where you sew like an interfacing to the applique piece, right sides together. Then u make a small clip in the interfacing part and turn the applique piece right side out. Presto...no raw edges, applique is ready to stitch. I also recently saw the technique where you use the interfacing, make sure it's fusible..putting the fusible side to the right side of the applique piece. Stitch around, clip curves if needed. Then make slit opening in fusible side and turn it right side out...the fusible will then have the sticky side out, ready to be fused to your block fabric then stitched. Lastly I have seen where people use used dryer sheets in place of the fusible..great idea for recycling! Again, love your block!
K Jan, your block is beautiful. |
it looks very nice. as long as you've secured the edges you're good to go.

As everyone has stated, your block looks great. Usually appl designed for needle turn has 1/8 to 1/4 turn under allowed whereas raw edge does not. You would cut away that allowance if changing to raw edge. Check your pattern to see if it has the extra allowance otherwise proceed as you are doing.

I love your block! The colors are great. The pattern looks familiar. Designer?

wow.. the block is beautiful! I've taken classes on both, but have not practiced enough... I plan on getting a project using each technique ready, THEN take the class, so I can get right to work on it! Your work is lovely!!

Your block is beautiful and your stitches super even... I had a quilt I dithered about on for 2 years because I was not sure my stitches were ok. As others have said finished is better than perfection. I love your fabrics/colors. I am very drawn to those greens and purples at the moment.

The pattern is called Plumeria and it's from a Quiltmaker magazine
