Then I could have just pressed one of the wadded up blocks and been done with it. At least I didn't follow the advice of a couple of people to cut them up and turn them into something else. Then I would have had to make a new one. sigh marcella |

You've got the right idea, Wendy. Mary Ellen Hopkins advised us: If you
have a project you cannot seem to complete, get a nice big box, line it in acid-free tissue, put in the project, and mark the box "For (son name)'s wife" and then put it back of the closet for your survivors to handle! 8^) Nancycog in MD |

Applique blocks from HE*&
can't you use the whole top as a sample?

Only the background had faded and I didn't have enough applique fabrics for another block so I picked off all the pieces and appliqued them to a new background. This isn't the faded block shop. I was teaching the class at two shops and I finished the edges differently so I know where the fading happened.

What top? I have four blocks with lots of little triangles around them.
No border yet. No applique on the border. Doesn't match the pattern anymore with my triangle changes...... sigh marcella In article , DrQuilter wrote: can't you use the whole top as a sample?
