Make another pattern 1/4 inch smaller for the iron on backing.
Iron it on. Turn over your 1/4 inch, then either zigzag it on the block or do by hand.l Zig zag is more durable, but hand applique is prettier.
Applique??? You must be mad...:) I'm trying to avoid that! :) :)
But it probably would be faster than cutting and piecing them like now. Not to mention more realistic. But I wasn't really after realism so much... just the idea of animal tracks. But the piecing of them (for me) is very slow so I think I will play with applique today and see if I can handle it.
Thanks

Love the idea of the paw prints going all aound the quilt. Be sure to put in a small border to separate the main quilt from the border blocks. You decide the size. It will be perfect because you made it.
