I spent some time over the weekend catching up on the Moccasin block of the month blocks for April and May.
April was two string pieced blocks. I love how they came out but I did make one mistake: I didn’t lower my stitch length as I pieced the strips so pulling the regular computer paper off the back is proving to be a bit more challenging than it ought to be.
This is the first Dresden plate I’ve ever made and I really enjoyed piecing the plate but wish I’d taken the time to appliqué it by hand cause I wasn’t thrilled with my machine appliqué.
I find that machine applique can be really tricky! I seem to really struggle with not having my fabrics twist and bind up a bit.
Your color combinations are bright and happy! I’ve appliqued several dresdens in the past using the blanket stitch, that seems to hide little oopsies .
I think that will be my plan next time! It would have looked a bit more polished that way I think. Oh well, live & learn!
