I am working on applying the applique pieces to my 8-point scrappy star wall hanging (design by Edyta Sitar, from her book Scrappy Fireworks Quilts). I have traced each piece of the applique design onto sheets of double-sided fusible web. Because there are so many duplicate pieces, I marked each one (for example "D-1 of 4, D-2 of 4, etc.) as I trace, to avoid getting confused. The picture above shows pieces I have traced and cut out, and ones that have been fused to different fabrics and are ready to press into place. Once I have arranged the pieces and pressed them into place, I will edge-stitch each piece. The most time-consuming part of this project will be to edge-stitch each piece. This is my progress, so far.
Your applique is really going to add so much to this design! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Connie, for your kind comments. I have to do 3 more corners, then I'll breathe easier.
