I have alot of Jinny Beyer fabric too since I used to live down the street from her and she was in my guild. I just love her designs and I too am using them in this BOM.

That Vase fabric is from a Jenny Beyer packet that I bought a couple of years ago. I big stack from Sauders in PA. All kinds of jewel tones. Funny thing is that it’s been sitting in my sewing room in a bundle tied with a ribbon looking pretty. I wanted to use it on this quilt and my dd said NO! it’s so pretty save it - FOR WHAT??. When she saw it on the block, her eyes got real big and she looked at where the packet WAS and knew I had finally cut into it. Makes a perfect vase and I have a few pieces that will make a perfect basket too!

Sharon has an interesting technique, but watching it I wondered what happens to the freezer paper? I never saw it come out.

Carla, like Pat said, it's NOT freezer paper, but a stabilizer. Its a polyester product that is stiff when it comes off the roll, but gets really soft when after it's been wet so it can be left in!

I'm in the process of making a comparison of stabilizers this morning and have got to tell you that both her stabilizer and Ricky's Stable Stuff are a DREAM to use this way! They are both white and also help to prevent shadow-through when appliqueing over darker fabrics.

I'm waiting until I receive another stabilizer from Jukebox Quilts to include in the comparison before I post photos, but I really like this technique!

I'm just hand appliqueing circles onto a background of black and white to see how the washed product looks. I'll post ASAP!

pknord OFFLINE Posts: 418	Carla, I would have to watch it again to be sure, but I think she used a stabilizer like Ricky's, that gets soft after it's been wet, and it just stays in the quilt. Pat in Rockport, TX

Wish I had thought of that Its still not too late for me though, I might peice every other background block... Well if you haven't done the "non" star background blocks, why not piece those? denise

maggieszafranski OFFLINE Posts: 694	Denise, I love the pieced background! You will definitely win the prize for best use of a stash! The first time I took my stepdaughter to a quilt shop, she was amazed. She thought you just made quilts from scraps, old clothes, etc! Maggie, so looking forward to spring here in E. Central Illinois!

denise-nh OFFLINE Posts: 210 Thank you received: 34	If you look in my profile, I have posted my January block and Feb too. I did it using a pieced background since I didn't have enough $$ to go buy more fabric! Use what we have so eventually we can go buy more! denise
