[QUOTE=MSHendel;n891096]First month is done. Some take aways: use less glue (just ordered better applicator),, try hand buttonhole stitch around some flower centers. Check contrasts of overlapping bits (blue flower on vase doesn't show up as much as I'd like), preference is to use Perfect Circles rather than doing small circles with Appliquick - don't like the heavy feel of the Print and Piece in such a small element, fun to fussy cut the circles for flower centers, I made each branch of stems and leaves in same fabric to cut down on busy-ness,
I used 80 wt off-white thread for most of the appliqué but switched to 50 wt Aurafil colored thread for the flowers. I've ordered the TQS bobbin set for future blocks as I like to match the thread to the fabric.
and finally- I survived making 30 1/2" grapes !!!!.
Using mostly Tula Pink fabric with some stash fillers. The background triangles in the border are varied prints of white tone on tone.
Overall, I'm very pleased and looking forward to Month 2. I love doing turned appliqué.

Peg, You are great with color. It is so cheerful and fun. Glad to see you putting some embroidery in there. I am working two variations. One is my perfect garden party, pulling all things that I like from any patterns that I have, and the second is going to
be embroidery on a dark background. Not sure that will get any further than just the center block, but we will see. HelenW

This is my progress to date. I’m using raw edge machine appliqué. I love seeing what everyone is doing and how different each block is. Forgot to mention, thanks m using fabrics from my stash.Last edited by Joanne B.; 01-15-2022, 07:36 PM.

My block is finished and all is appliquéd. I made 1 paper-pieced side and pinned it up to check colors. I haven’t trimmed the block to size yet.Last edited by Jo Anne; 01-16-2022, 02:37 PM.

Month 1 done! That was an enjoyable challenge! I have always avoided applique but because of this quilt, I have made it my goal for 2022 to see if I can master this skill. It will be interesting to see if I have improved by December. I actually enjoyed every minute of the process this month and although it is far from perfect, I am happy with my results (fabrics from stash). Thanks TQS!

Taking a break from edge stitching Month 1 center block. Thinking ahead to Month 2. Going to make my border wider so I can
do flowers and bird houses. This is the start of the first border. Will need to compensate the number of dog tooth triangles by
what I get after making one border. Then I will do the math. I just kind of roll with what I like the looks of. HelenW

The fabrics are listed as Japanese yarn dyes on Etsy. The circles are made using cardboard from cereal boxes, I cut fabric were it almost touches when you fold the sides together. Run gathering stitch, use double strand of thread to get your pull to cinch up and press, slightly loosening gathering and remove template, use your thread and cinch back up, ready to stitch. The extra fabric gathered up makes the circles look padded. The templates can be used many times.
