ritzy OFFLINE Posts: 2963 Thank you received: 82	Here is my second block. This one will only be wall sized. I took a picture of a couple from church and used them for the dimension and detail. Then I took a picture of the Pastor's daughter and made the face of Mary hers. Doesn't really look like either of the models but I am happy with it. Thanks to Karen for help with my gold/frankincense/myrrh containers.

Here you go Margo! Now with setting triangles and piping!

I used the freezer paper on the back technique, painted the seam allowance with starch and pressed back with a craft iron.
Glue basted in place and appliqued by hand.
Makes for a lot of prep but I wasn't happy with the regular needle turn or the freezer paper on top method, even after pressing it just wasn't crisp enough for me.

I can't wait till the first of the month for more instructions!

And thank you to everyone for all the wonderful comments! there are some lovely blocks posted up here!

Eileen, I used stable stuff and appliqued the block I made for Margo by hand. It was a little tougher simply because the applique was stiffer and didn't bend as well as I was working on it but not unduly so. After I washed the block it was perfect and I loved the effect of using it.

JoJo, I love the block that you posted last Tuesday. What are the stems made of?

OK, so here is what I did. I unsewed a couple of inches on each side of the top-center of the heart and then resewed them at the place they should have fallen. Then I added an extra leaf and three berries and I think I can live with it. I am still considering mistletoe but for right now I will live with it for a while. In the mean time I am working on the second block I am doing--it is also Christmas but I think it will just be a wall hanging size.
