    Wishes Wool Applique Project - SHOW YOUR PROGRESS!

    Post a photo of your Wishes Wool Applique Project and share your progress!

    Downloaded the pattern and got one big page made. Then took Barbara Black's common sense idea and shopped
    by fabric closet for things that might work. Alex's wool applique pattern definitely has the Sue Spargo influence.
    Sense my sewing budget is allergic to the price of wool, most of my fabrics will be cotton. I do have a couple pieces
    of wool that I will use as accents. Next fabric thing to do is audition lay outs for the background. This should be a
    really fun project, and I love the pattern that Alex created. HelenW

    PS Carole Berry I am looking forward to the fabrics you pulled from your wool stash.

    For new to the forum quilters doing this project, If you click on the photos it enlarges them.

        Auditioning background fabrics...I cut some rectangles and square of various sizes that would stitch together
        easily. I one focus rectangle of the original pattern is the one I have been trading out. Still might try
        some circles or an oval shape in that area. It is fun just playing around and not sewing anything yet.
        I added a couple more rectangles that I will applique to the background besides the original one.

          Kaye, From the 3 photos I like the violet the best. The idea, I think, is to add texture but not take away for the applique
          that will lay on top of it. Maybe lay the fabrics for the applique folded on top or along side each of your options take a photo
          and see which looks like it goes best with the fabrics from the kit. I am just pulling from my stash, so anything goes. That
          is why I am going for more background fabrics but all in the same color family. HelenW

            Thank you Helen. The violet also shows wind movement so I agree with your reasoning. I was looking more at color so was leaning towards the yellow, which is why it is good to get another’s perspective. On your post, I mentioned I liked the one on the left in the 3rd photo, but meant to say the right one in the 3rd photo.

              Ready for week 2. I made mine a little bigger. More dark pieces. Trying for subtle texture that adds interest.

                  Like this project very much and found different Wool fabrics in my stash not from the loved Sue Spargo but different wool qualities. Was not sure to use the striped black one vertical or horizontaly but will take the risk. The foto is not proportional correct.

                    The stitching we are currently doing will help with fraying.

                          I am having too much fun... Just got started on the the cutting. And wouldn't you
                          know two little birds from my Bonnie Sullivan pattern, flew over and landed on
                          Wishes. Have not decided if I will let them stay.
                          Nothing is stitched down, just auditioning ideas.
