    I 'm very new to the quilting world, I started learning on May 2019 and finish only one project till today, I'm in love with tradition blocks.
    I sow the Quilt Show BOM for 2020 and decided to join the chalnge which for me is dubble. The technique is very new to me and the language I'm not native English speaker.
    Here is my very first Applique, of coures their are lot of mistake that i can learn and improve.

            I finally finished the Applique Blocks for Month 1. Here they are. I thought they came out well especially since I am fairly new to applique. I did switch from using the Print and Piece light fusible to Wonder-Under. The Print and Fuse and the fabric glue kept coming lose and my applique pieces were flapping around constantly. The Wonder-Under worked great, so that's what I'm sticking with. It maybe that being inexperienced, I am handling the piece too much with having to take out stitches etc. Well on to Month 2.

                NanaPie -- it is a Fiskars. It actually isn't that great, though the colors are good and it is reversible. It is lighter on the other side. I use an Olfa mat for cutting.

                  I completed my first block Sunday!!! I ordered the kit as a late Christmas present once I decided to make this years BOM. I did needle turn applique using C&T Wash-Away Applique Sheets (it's fusible on one side). It was easy to feel the C&T Applique Sheets on the inside curves but I had problems feeling it on the outside curves and got some points. I think I am going to try using my Apliquick tools and glue to prep the next block.

                    Sandy, What thread and stitch did you use to get the black outline look? It looks great! HelenW

                      HelenW - I used Black DMC Pearl Cotton thread. I usually use 2 or 3 strands of DMC Embroidery Floss but I had purchased this ball of thread that I had never used. The outline covered up a lot of mistakes.

                          Month two. Used some sticky stabilizer I use for embroidery. Have a roll of it. It's called filmoplast. Very thin. Hope it works. Better than my raw edge applique last time. Took longer time though

                            sandytn - Very nice! I'm doing the same, needle turn using the same C&T Wash Away applique sheets and also my Apliquick tools. Fairly stiff after washing still, but I've decided I'm ok with it.

                              Thanks for the information on your mats - I really like the gray colors.

                                Ivanderb - I haven't washed my block but I don't mind the applique being a little stiff. I prepared my second block last night using the Apliquick tools and glue stick but I haven't started stitching to block yet. It's my first time using the Apliquick tools and I think I'm going to like this method.
