All the applique was done by hand with a blanket stich. My son is at the age where he wants to "help Momma" when I am at the sewing machine. After he accidentally put his finger on the belt of my sewing machine and almost broke his finger this summer, I realized I would have to do most of my sewing by hand and leave the machine work to naptime.
I do not like the feel of fusible web when I hand applique so I use mostly fleece because it doesn't fray. I have used flannel some, fray check it and then zigzag it on the machine.
I didn't like handwork before I discovered "appliqueing" fleece. Now I love handwork and actually find it relaxing, plus I can take it anywhere.

You have been very busy! I am jealous that you can accomplish so much in such a short time! Your son is adorable, love his eyes, beautiful face! I like the white and blue feet quilt the best, how sweet! Thanks for sharing.
