I'm still trying to figure out what method for applique will work better for me. At least I have a lot of 5" squares that I can use in my experiments. Of course the color combinations and stuff might a bit different but that's ok. Here is experiment 101. A heart to applique using the glue method (done with Roxanne glue-baste-it--temporary basting glue).
Still have to work on curves a bit but I did use Suz's suggestion of doing the point at the bottom. At least it somewhat looks like a heart...I think.
