Adorable!



I just enlarged it, and I LOVE the carrot fabric and the black poka dotted pot fabric.

Thanks Kassaundra. I am glad you like them. After I made them I started fretting if I was supposed to make them realistic looking. I struggled some with the bright but I myself think that I got that right. I did add the black/dark pan to offset the brights and make the pan more realistic looking.

I don't think realistic was ever said. The ones I've picked out aren't "realistic" and I plan on doing funky brights.

Hmm I am OK at it I guess but in no way an expert. Buy HeatNBond LITE and follow the directions. I make a sheet of paper the size of the finnished block. Then I draw what I want to applique to size. I look at what over laps what. I then trace with a pencil each individual piece by laying the bubbly side of HeatNBond on top of the paper with the drawing. Trace with a pencil the shapes onto the smooth side of HeatNBond. I then cut out each piece leaving a 1/4 inch border. I then fuse them lightly on the back of the fabric. Next I cut out on the line. I then peel the backing off, arrange the pieces and fuse them in place. Then finish by sewing on using an applique stitch, zig zag or straight line for a raw edge look. If I do raw edge I set my machine to free motion.
