Marianne-is-sewing Tredegar House - At the end of a workshop I had 8 green blocks that I did not greatly care for due to lack of value but saw a possibility of using them by adding appliqué. The centre block was constructed because I felt I needed 9 blocks and I did not have enough greens left to make one more block. I decided to treat this as a appliqué sampler and I ended trying out 11 different ways of creating edge turned appliqué to figure out what I liked and didn't like. TQS shows were a great help to identify different techniques. I now know without doubt what to do next time! I also tried out several sashiko style background quilting patterns.
