I do a lot of applique and absolutely do not like to applique circles because for me they end up square. I used Circleeze on this block and the berries look much better and round! I may actually get this quilt pieced together prior to the end of the year. I think the rest of tonight I am going to work on my grandma's flower garden and try to get one more block done. Next weekend I am taking an intermediate hand quilting class. I have not taken a quilting class in a few years and I am very excited about it and hope to learn some new tips.
Hi! I'd love to know more about Circleeze!
ReplyDeleteYour applique blocks are lovely... nice blog too!
Happy Sewing!
Thank you so much! for more info about circleeze just google Circleeze-many online stores carry them. She also makes one for leaves, but I have not personally used that one. Below is a description of the kit.

Hello there, nice meeting a new blogger! I am stuck on my circle for my applique! I am persevering though! I'll have to check out the circleeze though. Mine look so lopsided! Practice, practice, practice!
