Wow that turtle is to die for. I love the soft clouds and stars block. Wichypoo your star is beautiful.

darling turtle. how do you get that satin stitch so even. i have trouble with that.

simple comforts is really soothing.

wichypoo your fabric matching is right on.

all great blocks quilty pals.

Hi, Pat - just a hint I learned by trial and error. When doing satin stitch on an applique, it really helps if you have used fusible web to put the piece in place on the background fabric. Stays where it should, you can get a nice tight satin stitch without everything shifting and getting uneven. Just a suggestion....

What a darling turtle!!!

Was just wondering if my partner got her block?? Burnsk. Thanks.

thanks judy. my biggest problem is remembering which direction the stitch (needle) will go. silly me! sometimes my stitches are on the inside of my piece , sometimes on the outside, and sometimes just right in the middle. lol. also want to go too fast. just need to practice. machine applique is still fairly new to me.

Sure did and it is beautiful. I love it. It arrived yesterday. I posted yesterday. Yours will be in the mail this week and another one I have to catch up on. I'll post pics in the next couple days.

Sorry missed your post, take care of yourself first, we've all been sick with the ful so I know you feel, take care.

PM'ing you.

Susanne, That star block is the greatest, I can see why you want to make a whole quilt of it. Do you know the name of the block?
