I appliqued the second row of the New England sampler last night. Although the first row was appliqued in fabric, i chose to applique this row in felted wool. it is so much easier to stitch.
The little blocks (5") have such tiny pieces.
But they did go together quickly. I did go ahead and applique them down. the wool sometimes is hard to get to stay fused.
And, yes, i know those points are cut off. we'll just pretend they are supposed to be that way...ok? it's a miscalculation on my part when piecing the background and i was NOT going to take them apart and redo them. i'm ok with it.
So, now i need to trace and cut out the pieces for the next row. stay tuned
