Not everything becomes a quilt. I decided to use this pattern I bought in New York on a Wool Row by Row adventure. I decided to make some placements. I had purchase some Bosal Craft Tex fusible placemat on sale a decade or so ago. I used some cotton batting and fabric with some hand dyes and Cherrywood scraps for the applique.
The corners do not lie flat I think I should have gathered the binding at the corners so that it lay better. Maybe they will relax a bit with use. I am off to digitize a couple more block patterns. It has been so long since I did any machine applique that I had to relearn the software. I should make some notes and put them with my embroidery module so that I can remember how to do it in the future and shorten the relearning curve. Lots of fun.
These are just tooooo cute! And your background fabric choice is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI do like this fabric. I bought it because I thought it would be good background for Sue and Billy but I will keep my eye open for similar botanicals to have in the stash. There was a really nice Art Gallery one I saw on Instagram.
