I like your colors. I have not decided yet if I will machine or hand applique but am leaning toward machine.

Love both blocks, Lynnie. That second one really pops.

After Kathy posted her tutorial on machine appliquing, I tried it and really liked it. But for this one I am doing it by hand. It will be my evening project to sit with hubby while he watches t.v.

Lynnie, I love your fabric choices!!! I find that to be really hard (my DH helps me). I know in a second if I've made the wrong decision, so I audition a lot.

I like your second block the best too...it does seem to pop more, although I like the 1st one too. I don't think you could go wrong either way.

As for the technique, you'll just have to make a personal decision- machine vs. by hand. I am doing needle turn by hand as its a technique that I really want to learn and get better at doing. I also need a hand work project for tv time at night with DH. There are lots doing machine though.

Kathy, both very good,like the second one better. I do the needleturn technique, I want to start this one soon,but have to wait to finish a committment first. Also have to get some more batiks as I never used them much on my budget,I have the black bg,needles,threads,etc . Jo
