February blocks

My 4 February appliqué blocks

I have finished my February applique blocks but only have picture of three. I completed the fourth one last night but still need to do my outline stitching. I still have one from January to make and I will be up-to-date.

I think I have finally settled on a method. I am printing my pattern on Wash-Away Applique Sheets and instead of using glue or starch, I’m finger pressing the edges under using the applique sheets as a guide and doing needle turn.

Sandytn, I love the way your outline stitching with the black gives all your appliqué blocks a unifying feel. The wash away sheets are stiff enough
that finger pressing the edges would be a good technique to use with your needle turn. Thanks for sharing your tips. HelenW

Sandy,
The method you have come up with sounds good. I will have to try it too.
