Dear All
I hope you are all having a great day so far!
Should i remove the purple flowers? I am hand applique and looking forward to the next block :)

Can needle turn applique and just hand applique (that's button stitch style) be applied to the same project? I have started doing hand applique for the BOM Baltimore and was wondering if a mixture of both be ok on altenate block? :)

Like the purple I would add 1 more to balance the color maybe the flower furthest to the left could be changed, but it is very pretty

I do it. All the time, button style is more folk art, so. If that is ok with you go for it

Enjoyed seeing. Your center

I have read through this thread. When I first looked at it , I thought no way can I do that ! All of you are so encouraging . The blocks are so awesome ! I wish I would have found this BOM sooner. I will be getting a late start . I need to get my shopping list ready ! :-D I too am a beginner. I have learned so much from this site since joining in Jan. This is my new passion ! :thumbup:

Have you decided what method you will try; fused or hand turned? We're here to help you, any questions, just post and we will respond.

I think I will do fused . What type of fusing do you recommend ? I'm sitting here pondering whether or not to choose less traditional colors . Maybe a darker background. Is there any history behind the Baltimore type quilting ?

I almost changed to the folk art style with button hole but had started with needle turn. I came down with shingles this last weekend and on the face of all places, and of course, by the eye so have to take it even slower. button hole would speed it up for me a bit. perhaps with the center in needleturn, and then do the rest in button hole. Glad to see that it is "acceptable" to do it with mixed styles. Not that I always do the "acceptable" thing. LOL
