Here's Kathi's starting block for She challenged us to do raw edge applique = nothing is pieced, it's sewn right on top. Edges will fray.
Here is what she has so far.
I love the variety.
She picked such a nice colorway.
I wish I could say I did one of these blocks. Cute!
I know some are really great,
but you're wondering who did that
awesome petal block
in the corner.
Tomorrow,
I may casually grab my box & bring it home --
I haven't really seen it for over a year!
I think we're going for 16 blocks ~ 3 more months.
I so love the colors and the blocks.... if you just do the raw edge, does that mean you can not wash it?
ReplyDeleteGreat colors - all the blocks look so lovely together. Exciting.
ReplyDeleteI assume the raw edge technique involves fusing?????
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks, looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteoohh. I like this a LOT! Never heard it called 'pizza box'. My mom's small quilt group had a Round Robin exchange every year. Never knew WHAT she was gonna get back, but was never disappointed either. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love raw edge applique...really fun! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteI call it the Pizza Box exchange, because we keep the blocks in pizza boxes. Maybe the exchange has a more elegant name, I'll have to ask :). No, no fusible web. I tack my shapes down with a glue stick & sew a 1/4" in around the shapes. You can wash it. The edges fray, you clip the strings. Have you seen the Vintage Baby Quilt? That's raw edge.
ReplyDeleteI love those colors and the variety of the blocks.
