            Still working on my Jan block. I am a newbie at needle turn applique. I have done other methods of applique, thought I would try this. Sure is different. So far my favorite means of applique has been raw edge, with blanket stitch , either machine or hand. :roll:

                I confess to being a person that dissects and studies things more than most. Okay--I'm anal-retentive and obsess about the most minor of things. :lol: :lol:

                Any how, my question of the day is what type of lily do you think is January's block and what is the circle in relation to the lily? At first, I thought it might be the stamen but the flower is in the closed position. :?:

                Or perhaps this is a lily that I have never seen that never fully opens or it is a made-up version of a lily and now everyone knows why it takes me so long to finish a block! :shock:

                Can you tell where I am in the block?

                      I never thought to question the type of lily. Now that you mention it , it does not look like any lily I have ever seen. That is good, means I can't mess it up. Just go with it and enjoy the process is my opinion. :lol:

                        Mary Kay,

                        I love your background fabric. What kind of stabilizer do you use? I've ordered Sharon Schamber's stabilizer, now I'm waiting! I think using the stabilizer will help me with the needle turn. I'm not satisfied with what I've done so far on the Jan block, so I decided to change my method!

                        Ladyquilter...you sound like me sometimes. I think things to death! But my delima has been what applique method to use!!! I hadn't thought of the lily, don't know what it is suppose to be.

                            JoJo, you make me laugh because you remind me of myself!!! I was even going to blog about this and may yet :-) I have spent so much time thinking about this BOM and trying to decide which method of applique, etc. I even did an internet search in January to see what lilies look like and was trying to decide if I should embroider those little things that stick out (whatever the technical term is) or do I want circles or yo yo's or what. I have all my fabrics and everything lined up to go and may actually make progress soon :-)
