Ready for Take-Off!

I'm starting a new quilt. You would think I could finish one of my other quilts first, but NOOOO, I have to keep creating.

It started because I want to do a demonstration to my quilt guild on a reverse applique' technique using freezer paper. It is an easy way to set in circles. It's the method I used in my Meadow Quilt.

I was thinking that this same technique should work with different shapes. So I thought I would give it a try.

 I decided to try it with a plane. seems to work well.

 Now all I have to do it remove the freezer paper and top stitch it down to the orange fabric.
I think this will look really cool with this Alison Glass fabric.

Sew, needless to say, I started a new quilt. I guess I'm ready for take-off.


Today I'm linking up with Design Wall Monday at Patchwork Times

  1. I saw that idea a while ago, but have not tried it yet. Great idea to try it with other shapes/objects!
