I have to be honest I was really scared of this one when I first started this project... but, with the support of a good friend; Janice... I was able to overcome of my fear of applique. This was all fusible and was very easy to do and went by quickly. It's one of my favorite blocks... I may do more of these.. don't you think it would make a stunning quilt??
Wow... this was a first for me in so many ways. This was my very first Dresden plate. The directions for this was so simple. I hand applique this block and enjoyed every moment of it. Applique something I use to run from I am been drawn to more and more as of late.. and loving it. Yes it was on my things to learn this year and I learned so much and have so much more to learn. This block was started at retreat and finished it at home. Now for the flying geese... I did two different sets of the long one... I finally figured it out and guess what... i survived it. In the past my flying geese use to fly away...these decided to stick around... I think they know they are going to help keep a special young lady warm soon !!
I also finished this one at retreat.. I am starting to think I need to go to retreat every weekend. I felt really accomplished. I cannot believe how incredibly easy this was to. I am thinking this would be a great block to do for an entire quilt for my grandsons.
This was an interesting block to do. It was all fusible so there was no curve piecing which I was afraid to do when I first saw the block. This block was done at retreat and I did the machine applique when I got home. It was really easy to do and very pleased with it.
