This was my first effort at applique'. I think it'll be fun to do once I work through some of the kinks in joining pieces.

I heard you in chat talking abt boot blocks.............I must be dense......a boot really is a boot and that is really cute.........that is good.........now are there a buch the same or will they be different....thats great :D Can't wait to see more Ruth

Each person in the guild who took the background fabric and a pattern is doing one block. I may make a couple more just to practice a little more. We turn the blocks in at the next meeting and then one of the ladies has volunteered to put them together. I expect it will be a pretty eclectic mix when it's finished. They will auction it at an art festival here in April. The festival's focus is Texas or western art. I'm anxious to see some of the other blocks myself. I'm new to the guild so don't really know if they are traditional or what.

OH WOW!! That is Sooo cute! :) Very, very nice! :)

I love it! Very whimsical :D You did a wonderful job, I love your fabrics and colors :D I could see a wonderful quilt if you chose to continue making them on your own! :D :D :D

That is so cute, I love the way you've fussy cut your red fabric to get the motifs in there. Well done on your first attempt at applique :thumbup:

very cute!

What a cute idea. I hope you post a picture of the finished product. Great job.

It is cute!

Your applique boot is great! I am afraid to try but after looking at yours,I have a great role model ceegee :lol:

Thanks everyone. Ceegee, in all honesty, the first one I did stunk. I had to take it apart and try again. It was just the boost I needed to go ahead and buy a little better machine. I got one that would do a blanket stitch, and that was just the ticket. Saw the other blocks, what a mix. But they were all really cute! I can't wait to see the finished quilt. I may try to make one for my dad...he's a kicker. I think he'd like it. He's 82 and tends to stay cold all the time. But I have several other projects to do first.

That is so cute!!It looks really nice, hope to see a pic of the finished project!

That is very cute! Great Job!

That is really, really cute BJ, it's seeing stuff like that, that makes me want to applique more often.

My guild's block of the month are a selection of all types of shoes. One of them is a boot. I am going to be brave and machine zig zag around it.
You have really inspired me.
Thanks again
CEEGee :lol:
