Block 2: Fleur Delight
Notes on this block:
- The background I used in this one is actually the wrong side of a printed fabric. I loved the look of the basket-weave, but didn't like how dark the design was on the right side of the fabric. So I flipped it over and it ended up being just what I wanted. Woo hoo! I flipped down the upper right corner of my block in the picture above so you can see what the right side looks like.
- I used plastic bias bars to create the stems.
- Karen Kay Buckley's Perfect Circles were employed for the pink "flowers."
- Needleturn applique with freezer paper on top was used for everything else.
Now I have to figure out what block I want to do next!
so pretty! I like that you used the back of the fabric. Just from the little bit of the front you show in the picture it looks like your work would have been lost on the darker color. Would hate that since your applique is so skilled! Hapyp Quilting! :)
ReplyDeleteThat turned out perfect!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I love Karen's circle templates as well and I can see how they came handy in this block!
ReplyDeleteYour applique skills don't cease to amaze me! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and interesting to use the back of the fabric. I do like!
ReplyDeleteNice thinking out of the box for the wrong side of the fabric!! Suck a beautiful applique job!!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! Good call on flipping the fabric over - your beautiful applique would not have shown up on the darker background.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful applique! I like the choice in using the back of the fabric too!
ReplyDeletePerfect! I have used the backs of fabric too. Sometimes it is just the perfect thing just like for your block.
