I prefer pink & purple so....
[ATTACH=CONFIG]556374[/ATTACH] too big for camera, must keep it flat until dry.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]556376[/ATTACH]
Now must sandwich & attempt to do the actual applique, scary for me.
Hope sis in Cali can help in late Sept. Will post on Picture thread when finished. Thanks for looking!

DJ, I am nearing the sandwiching stage of a portrait quilt I did of my daughter. I am literally scared to death to quilt it! It looks so realistic and beautiful and I am not the world's greatest at quilting. I don't want to ruin it.
Anyway, I met a couple of quilty friends through this board who live very close to me and I am considering calling upon them for some moral support and personal hand holding while I "struggle" through the quilting process. That is why I love QB so much! You meet people who share your passion and when you find out they are neighbors as well.... bonus points all around

WholeheartMom, you are an inspiration to me, applique mentor is more than 100 miles away, must seek local mentor, Thank You!
It is raw edge & must be sewn all around then define each leaf and petal. Must use solid color backing to show work (opposite view though). It is quite daunting for me. I was able to buy colored thread on sale before Hancock's closed, whew, saved a bunch. We shall see how it turns out, just don't expect perfection from me, not even qualified to be called a novice - true beginner is more like it, even with that Saturday class it took last year!
Ya'll let me know when those packages start arriving, so hopeful that you enjoyed this swap.
hugs,

Any batiks blocks I get will be put in my 2 1/2" log cabin block king size topper project. I figure it will take me a few months to complete. If you ladies peek in on the birthday candy swap, we do quilt along small projects. The QAL use up the candy squares. The 1st project I decide to make a king size top vs the throw. Needless to say it took longer to make. I'm done with the top and will send it to be quilted in a few months. I like the way it turned out. I'm only 2 projects behind. Will start on those in a week or 2. I have several other ideas for my blocks.
