It is SEW easy for you but not sew much for me. However, YOU have inspired me to go for it. I like your attitude of everything doesn't have to be so perfect. I get caught up in making everything perfect and lose the fun of it. Also, I notice you don't zig zag around your fabric. SEW much easier. Ok, I'm going to give it a whirl.<br />I absolutely love your creations and your blog is one of my TOP Five.

First I cut the white fabric about 1 inch bigger than the picture I drew. That gives me 1/2 inch all the way around just in case. Then, I took a hunk of blue and sort of eyeballed how I wanted it to look and cut it..making sure that it was tall enough for the length of the white fabric. I already had it fused with webbing so laid it on top, and ironed it down...THEN, I sewed the blue down right away since it really had nothing to do with the drawing (although I knew all the time I wanted the blue in the background too.<br /><br />After that, I chose my fabrics and put webbing on them so that when I had my tracings I was ready. Then, I used tracing paper (some taped together for length) and traced my drawing....first the stems and leaves in the background, as you can see from the pictures. I laid the tracings on the right side of my fused fabric (sometimes pinning them on) and cut them out one at a time and laid them on the fabric base. If I was a bit off from the drawing, no big deal. (After all, this is quilting not brain surgery. LOL) When I got one section to my liking I ironed it down for stability and continued until I had everything done and all ironed. I then sandwiched it as a normal quilt and sewed each section with the appropriate color thread. Put on my binding, gave it a quick ironing and wa-la....DONE!carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17801265907110578386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685326246628637667.post-59813475558983339122011-01-29T09:45:00.436-08:002011-01-29T09:45:00.436-08:00Wow, how do you do it???
