I really love both these two prints and presently can't decide.

I knew straight away that I wanted this newspaper print for the background

and here's my basket and trim fabric

with all my flower heads created, cool and set aside, I created my basket in the same way

Then I positioned my stems and leaves in accordance with the pattern

I used my light box beneath my applique top
whilst it was still on the applique matt and not yet ironed down

This allows me to see any overlap
Ii don't want 'ridges' showing through my applique front
And if there's too much fabric layering, it can appear obviously from the front after ironing

If you look closely, you can see I have cut away the excess basket handle length
behind the bunny ears as they were showing through

and the background fabric over the overlapped basket back to cut down on bulk

And my block front.
Voila! What do you think?!
Lovely. And man are you quick or what!
ReplyDeleteI just love your block - beautiful! I also would like to tell you how much I appreciate the detail you share on your blog on just how you make your appliqué: your thought process and why you do things a certain way. I always really enjoy reading every post as I learn so much from you! My heartfelt thanks!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I really like the way you checked for too much fullness and shadows.
