Nanabirdmo, Thank you, Have been working on the next section of it. Don´t know if it is going to work, but started to go into pinks and blue green. Keeping my fingers go because this is all in the mind, I have no pattern.

You lucky girl, perhaps you will learn something a little different, or maybe the same. Just a little tip I have been given, because there are so many seam at the back of the fabric give it a good steam press before sewing on your applique and apply a vilene backing to your piece and then sew the applique, unless of course your doing the applique by hand which is easier. I machine applique.

Good luck with your course, share with us if you can, Post pics please

Thanks Patti, going to put some sea shells on it, DH says he has a ceramic drill to put the holes in the shells which I will then sew on. A bit different, but she will love it.

Elle, I have some really beautiful small delicate shells from the Maldives that would look amazing on your quilt...is it going to be a bed quilt or a wall hanging, as I would be abit wary if its a bed quilt, abit sharp if the shells were lay on etc.

Izy, I am looking for really tiny ones. But perhaps Colin can take the sharp bits off. I would love to have a look at the shells, perhaps they would be just the job. There are some really tiny pink ones on the beach here in Torrox, so plan to go beach combing soon.
