Fall Into a Quilt-A-Long Block 12 — 2 Comments

  1. Hi Kathy, your owl is adorable!
    I have the same effect with my hedgehog, I always seem to realize after the fact that dark fabrics show through. If I remember, I add a light interfacing to back of lighter fabric before ironing on the adhesive, to make it less translucent.
    Your Fall quilt looks amazing!
    What a cool banjo you have

    • Thank you for the suggestion. I did try a fusible interfacing on the back of the lighter fabric and the heat ‘n bond lite didn’t stick! Which I didn’t know until I washed that quilt! That was a BIG surprise! I’ve been testing the applique on smaller pieces now! Putting the white fabric on the back seems to work except for tiny pieces. I’m making fairies on a night time sky background and their little pieces won’t stay put! It’s a challenge but I like challenges! Thank you for your comments!
