This was my first time using the light weight Heat & Bond. I just couldn't stop making circles! I applied them to the background square and then machine blanket stitched with invisible thread. I loved making this top and arranging the colors, but the Heat & Bond does make it seem a bit like it would be a good quilt for sleeping in the rain because it must be waterproof! I would use the Heat & Bond again because you can do such cool stuff with it, but it is a different finish.

Pat Sloan has a great technique for cutting down on the stiff when using Heat Bond. =)

LOVE the quilt. And the little peek a boo block is adorable!

Thanks! So cool that you noticed that fellow, who was left over from a Halloween Stacked quilt top.

I did read about cutting the Heat & Bond so that you just have it for the area around the stitching, but that surpassed my patience level :)

very nice...I like this...great job

Cool quilt, Love the colors.

There are a couple of Heat and Bonds, one is very stiff. I usually use wonder under. Do you window the circles. That is take the center out of the circles so you end up with only 1/4 inch of fusible on the edge of your circle.

I love this! I used to use the Heat n Bond but have since switched to Steam a Seam 2 - it's tacky BEFORE you iron it on so can be repositioned and I think it's softer, though I do the cutting away thing on bigger pieces still.

I used the light one, but it's just a different feel than without a backing. No, way more work than I was willing to do to cut out the circles :)

These circles are set in a five inch square, so they really aren't very big, but it was just something different to work with :)

...thought the peek a boo block was just
"wearing a mask"... LOL

great use of color AGAIN!

Well, he is, it's a "mummy" left over from a Halloween stacked quilt top :)
