My First Applique - and I have questions!

Not my first quilt -- just my first applique.:)

Thanks - Good to know on the dryer sheets. Now that you mention it, I'm sure I can't stitch through what I used. I think I'm gonna do Xs and Ox on the sashings.

I've been thinking about trying my hand at applique as well. Beautiful quilt.

I use Heat N Bond lite for applique but when you cut out the piece of HNB before you peel one side off and iron it to the back side of the fabric, cut the bulk of the center of the piece out so you just have an outline of the shape rather than a solid shape to iron on the fabric. That way the center of the applique piece isn't stiff/bulky so if you want to fmq over it, it's not too thick. Your quilt is beautiful.
