| I finally finished this block 27! Yes the center is not perfect but I did learn a few things :0) |
Did it make reverse applique any easier for me? No, it really did not.
My conclusion is I just need to practicing my applique techniques more. I have never done reverse applique before this block but will keep trying to improve.
 |
| I made a stencil to try to make this needle turn reverse applique "easier" |
 |
| What if I chalk it the diamonds to get a strong outline? |
 |
| now I have the shapes ready to use so I can sew on the dryer sheets |
 |
| I cut the used dryer sheet just a bit larger than the diamond |
 |
| then machine sewed on the front side around the diamond |
 |
| now cut out the fabric in the center |
 |
| now tuck the dry sheet through the diamond to the backside, this gives me a pretty clean shape |
 |
| Back side with freezer paper in place around edges for applique |
 |
| I continued until I had all the diamonds sewn |
 |
| the large shape is appliqued down around the wavy edges, now can I get the diamonds to lie flat? |
 |
 |
| each diamond was turned under and appliqued down |

| This block was done with reverse appliqued needle turned diamonds in the center........it took me forever. |
