Robin, what a great design, waiting to see it in fabric.

Margo, I am sure that you have addressed his issue many times in this forum. I am trying to use your method as I want to use RT stable stuff. If your starch your fabric before you cut out your applique pieces doesn't it make it more difficult to turn them to the back? I can see that you starch your berries when they are finished. Also as this is my first applique I have done a small test piece, the little vine at the top of the block. However as a beginner I find it very difficult to keep the vine the same width and all the curves and branches make it very challenging. Last years appique blocks look much easier now with their straight vines, lol. I am feeling rather dispirited at the moment , but know that I need to go on and learn rather than being defeatist. BTW I have printed off the information under Crayola markers where you show how you spray fabrics on the floor. I am quite braindead at times, so would be soo grateful for some clarification. Thank you.

Are you referring to Margo's block? If yes, the stems are made from Madeira's Lana thread. It's wool on the outside and poly on the inside. It's a wonderful thread.

I am so-o-o-o behind on this thread! Ladies, you are all doing great things with this BOM! I have enjoyed scrolling down over all of the wonderful blocks! This will be a great BOM to watch grow!

Robin, I love your new "Tweets" pattern. Will your fabric choices remain the same? You will have fun with this one. Perfect design!

Robin, your design looks great! I really like the placement of your design pieces. It's going to be a wonderful block. Enjoy stitching!

Robin, I also like your design. I love berries in a quilt block. I am anxious to see it sewn up.

Robin!
That looks awesome! I can't wait to see it in fabric!
Love it!

Awesome, Robin! I love the "what-if" quilts!!

Robin, I just love your block. You are a terrific designer!

Rgold love your block and its looks fine to me, what a great idea.

I'm excited! This week I will actually get to start my Ruffled Roses, so I printed out my center design full size, figured out which fabrics go where, was very pleased with it ... 'til my head started saying, what if ... ? So, I now have a whole new design for the center, but I'm pleased with it. JoJo and everyone else, please comment about anything that I might not be seeing! (before I start cutting and sewing )
