This is my first applique...It was fun!...I ironed the freezer on right side of fabric..sooooooooo much easier to me..Of course my back is killing me. Standing over the ironing board...should have started with less pieces..
Going cut the back ground fabric off to make a smaller square then add different color stripes back around it to make square a 10x10.
It is going to be a lap quilt for my oldest daughter...she loves the retro owls..does this look retro??

Good job Dianne! It looks great!!

oh my goodness! this is so darling! I love it and yes it looks retro! What is the name of your pattern?

It's adorable! Next time try lowering your ironing board and iron while sitting on a chair - it is a lot easier on my back that way.

so cute ,great job :D

Wow, your first applique? I think you're a natural! I love the retro owl. Your daughter is going to flip!

That is sooo cute. I love those big buggy eyes. :D :D :D :D

You certainly done a great job on your first applique, your daughter will just love it, it is so cute.

I like owls! Especially happy funky ones! You did a terrific job. I love the fabrics you chose.
