I completed the four blocks using the back basting applique method. I'm really liking this method and plan to do more this way. These blocks will be made into a little quilt with sashing and corner stones. I might have to wait until after I've finished a couple Christmas gifts to put this one together.
I've completed the 4th block for the LeJardin Quilt. This block I used the freezer paper method, maybe the next one I'll do back basting method...the more practise the better. This quilt is very sweet with all the bunnies.
Happy Quilting.
Very nice blocks Wendy! You are an applique master!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are all so beautiful! Your appliqué is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks. I too use the back basting method.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week!
Your blocks are lovely! It looks like the back basting method works well for you - I really enjoy this method as well.
ReplyDeleteYour applique looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks, Wendy. I haven't done any hand applique in a very long time. You're definitely an inspiration. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour appliqué is beautiful.....love the bunny.

Sweet blocks! Let us know which method you end up liking the best.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! love the blocks and your Lejardin is adorable. I have tried many times to do backbasting but found it more work than the needleturn and keep returning back to that method, it is handy though for when you have dark colors to applique.
ReplyDeleteyour applique is beautiful. love looking at it.
ReplyDeletejust lovely
ReplyDeleteWe had a demo at our guild with the back basting method, too. I liked it but need to pull out the steps again. Maybe if I do it a couple of times, it will sink in. I really liked your tutorial on the starch method but you are right .... lots of prep before the first stitch. That's why I like wool so much. But not everything can be done in wool.
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to find a technique that seems to work for us. Great blocks!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE the bunny! The quilt will be lovely with those colours and the bunny - beautiful and such perfect applique. Happy Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful applique and an interesting technique that I would like to try. Is the block pattern from a book or a pattern? I would like to purchase it, as it looks like a good beginners pattern to start with...love the rabbit too, but that is way too complicated for me!
ReplyDeleteLove the pommegranites...and the bunny! Teresa :o)
ReplyDeleteLove the four pomegranate blocks. Perfection!!
ReplyDeletevery nice blocks!
ReplyDeleteYour pomegranate blocks are beautiful!! I still haven't given backbasting a try but I need to! I never thought of it as a technique with less prep. I am all over less prep :0)
