    Someone should have reminded me I’d have to blanket stitch all my fantasy flowers. I couldn’t help myself-they were too darn cute to create!

    I was finally able to work on my blocks today. All blades were machine appliquéd onto the blocks using Alex’s settings.

    Did you draft out a different half moon so that you were able to machine piece them, rather than applique them?

      Yes, I used a similar block from EQ so I could print templates. I didnt realize till later that my curve was a different size. If I had realized earlier, I would have adjusted the curve.

      Nope I did not - I have never drafted curves before

        SueGee, What a great tie spinning spool quilt. I have made a lot of quilts I would consider masculine. Think of the hobbies that
        come to mind when you think of men. Fishing, hunting, golfing, sports etc. Here are two pictures of ones I made that are masculine feeling. You could use panel squares in the corners like the first one, or may the pieced evergreen trees. The second is using fish swimming across the bottom border something like that would work. Also, maybe google vintage pick up trucks. There
        are lots of cute free line drawing that are easily turned into applique. Another idea if you have Ricky Tims book, you could draw a border treatment using his concept to make shape that are neither female or male, just pretty. It is not hard to do. HelenW

          Thanks Helen. I decided not to do a vine. I have cut out some shapes of bears and fish and a few trees. When I have more done, I'll post a photo.

              Sue Gee this is not masculine but you could use almost anything that does not give a female type feel. Here is one I drew up
              using your spinning spools and just images from EQ8. Helen

                Got all my fantasy flowers and vines stitched down. Glad I used a stabilizer behind all that stitching. At times, my fusibles refused to stay stuck, so more than a few pins were needed to keep things in place. I think it lends itself to echo quilting lightly around the flower shapes in the border.

                    Decided to make quilt a little larger. I did not have a 8" square up ruler so to make my life easier my blocks are finished 9" since I had that square up ruler. Now on to the borders.

                    Decided to use black instead of white with scraps from my stash. Unfortunately I can’t get it rotated right now.
