So let's Pick some Fabrics
I started with Moda's Etchings.. added in a bit of red basicgrey also from Moda.. and a green from P&B that worked!
Select some GREAT Thread..
I love Aurifil 50wt in matching colors.. it blends right in!
Have all the applique ready.
Now fold and crease that background block like the photo. This gives you a placement guide
Position the centers then the stems for that symetrical setting we ALL crave from time to time... wink!
I did my block with fusible applique, but you can certainly use any method you like.
A stem options would be to use rick rack!
In the pattern I put 9 blocks together in repeat so you can see how it looks.. I might have to do that!
My Giveaway is open until the end of the Day next Monday!! Enter for a chance to win a Jelly roll of my batik "Eat Your Fruits and Veggies" with Moda.. and a Aurifil thread Sampler..
"Tell me YOUR FAVORITE Fall item, and why"
