Mousie, it's beautiful! I love the mottled navy background, is that Moda Marbles?
Lesley, I started working on block 9 last night. Beth picked out all the colors, she traced them and turned the edges with the starch/freezer paper method while I cut squares of black background, batting and muslin. I'm hoping to get some of the sewing done tonight.
Mousie, are you putting the batting in now or after the whole top is finished? I think you're doing machine applique, right?
