that is very nice!

I do not recall that swap...so I am no help!

That green striped fabric ties all the blocks together.   I like your on point setting. 

I'm trying not to leave too much behind for my friends to complete when I can't.  Nibbling away at it.

Cute quilts!  I especially like the one with little dogs on it.  What a great team effort.

Pretty!

What a great goal!

I'm trying not to leave too much behind for my friends to complete when I can't.

applique is done - need to add a little bit of embroidery (mostly leave veins) then quilt.  Almost there.  I think I've decided I don't like prepared edge as much as I thought.  I had lots of problems with too much glue/starch, difficult to needle.  Especially with the hand died hombre fabric  - not exactly batik but very difficult to sew through (all the sunflower) and many of the leaves.  I had to resort of a finger cot to pull the needle through, also had to wet it several times as the glue in combination with multiple layers was just too much.  Next time I really must just do dots of glue

geesh - I forgot the picture!

Nice work!

I  certainly hope that when you look at it that you will eventually be able to forget all of the difficulty you had in creating it.

like!

I use the glue stick from Appliquick... never have any issues getting thru the glue...it's kinda expensive, but worth it to not engage in swearing...
