I am not done--will post a pic soon-- of a 12" square quilt. On this particular one, I used buttons for eyes of the pumpkin and tiny beads for the eyes of the spiders.

Can't wait to see it! And you're right, it's very addictive!

We all love your 'Frosty Babies'. Thank you so much for sharing the link to the pattern. I expect that we will see many different families of 'Frosty Babies' on this forum.
Sharing is one of the best things about this list.

Doing fusinble applique, it's easy.

Take the fusible bond and trace the pattern pieces.

Cut out the fusible bond pattern pieces out leaving 1/2 inches or more around each.

Just iron the pieces on the fabric.

Assemble, ironing on each piece. Most patterns even tell you which to iron first.

When complete, finish with machine satin stitch or blanket stitch. (Or, do blanket stitch by hand--I love that part)

Give it a try!--I know there are many ways to do applique but this is certainly the easiest!
