Betty, what do you use for fusible on your applique?? and do you use a stabilizer behind your fabric when you do the stitching?? if so what do you use?? the pattern would be fantastic!! and the cut outs too!! will be lovely to have some of you in another quilt.
I made a new design wall, and I love it!!! It is that foam board / insulation comes in a 4 x 8 sheet, about an inch and a half thick. I have it covered in a very thin off white fleece, works great!! It is covered in Christmas blocks. I have blocks from three different Christmas / winter swaps, and I am playing with placement, trying to decide on sashing or not??/ and then of course I have to figure out the back side...I am trading some fabrics with Bev for some flannels, I was going to make a few rag quilts, but I am thinking I may use some of it for the back side of my Christmas quilt??? don't know???
It is not in a great position for taking pictures, but otherwise I love it !
