I love it!!!! And I know exactly what you mean. I started a needleturn applique project in January or February (VERY new to quilting in general!!!) and have completed 7 of the 25 full sized blocks, plus the border has 20 half sized blocks! I'd never done applique before. But I do love it!

I love it. I don't see anything wonky. Save the vine! Surely there's some way to not have to move it since it looks so perfect where it is? Can you possibly use a smaller seam allowance?

Looks beautiful

Oh it's so worth it--keep going!! It's going to be amazing!

So beautiful! You can do it. Needle turn scares the pants off me, but you've obviously mastered it. Keep going!

Thanks Coletta I can send you over the patterns if you wish - go on now don't be shy LOL.

Sewn thats for your comments - I'll let you know if I am still sane once it adventually gets completed.

Thank you for your comments Q4U.

Tisha, your block is just simply beautiful, pat yourself on the back!! If your vine is too close to the seam allowance, I would just unpick the parts that are and pin out of the way, then when you have joined your blocks just allow it to trail onto the adjacent block and stitch down after joining, you can do that on several so it looks less uniform....you know how I hate to conform lol! :D

K - I know what you mean about ensuring the background is quite generous to allow for the possibility of the fabric being pulled in using this technique. The problem I have is this is a BOM so all the pieces are already cut & not generously either so if need be I will have adjust the block overall. What a nuisance I hear you say LOL. Oh well onward & upward huh?

Tisha :P
