Topic: New Group created for 2015 BOM (20/25) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month journey into the land of childhood memory with a charming quilt designed especially for TQS by internationally-known Australian designer Lynette Anderson. Lynette combines simple, unpretentious folk art style appliqué motifs with patchwork blocks for a quilt that will be lots of fun to make. Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. We will once again be offering monthly companion teaching videos as well. It all makes for a year of fun and learning!

I'm a newbie to the block of the month. I did purchase the kit from the shop cause I fell in love with the colors used and figured I'm a great "copy artist" but quite lacking in my own imagination. Anyway my question is this: The kit comes with various yardage cuts of the different materials. (31 different fabrics altogether). Can anyone tell me how accurately I need to be when cutting? In other words will I have plenty of fabric if I don't pick the correct section to cut my squares from or the right direction? I'm scared since I can't look forward that I will come up short. Any experience with words of wisdom????

Thanks.....Sharon

Terri,
Karen Kay Buckley talked about this in one of her classes. She suggested using a light weight iron on fusible interfacing on the applique shape (not the in seam allowance). Karen mentioned this because a judge commented that one of her quilts had some shadowing. (That must of been years ago...because look at her now!) I tried her idea in a quilt I just finished. I used a white shirting fabric that had many tiny, little black lines and the tiny, little black lines showed through some light colored fabrics, such as yellow. So, here is another suggestion for you think about.

crocus999 OFFLINE Posts: 1909 Thank you received: 149	Question: I took the Craftsy class on hand needle turn applique. I plan to use that type for the BOM. Now ? : if a fabric that is paler is appliqued over a darker fabric, do you cut out the backing (main fabric) to remove the shadow?
