Around the Block - June 2010

More block swaps for the month of June. These blocks are for Annie from Annie-Flowergarden, who requested Circles with an "arty feel and movement".


This is my first attempt at raw edge applique, and I think I did ok.  Especially considering that my own sewing machine is currently enjoying a little break with the service mechanic, and that I've not used a fusible product before.


The fusible web product that I used was called Steam-a-Seam, which came with both French and Spanish instructions(?).  It wasn't all that difficult to work out how to use it, although a new ironing board cover is now required!
