Drove me crazy!<br /><br />Now, I'm into slapplique! I just cut the shapes out in whatever design is called for and use a blanket, zig zag, or satin stitch to sew it on. I don't even use any adhesive. Seriously, I just don't have the patience.<br /><br />Of course, none of my quilts would win any ribbons, but I'm having fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769048173809484225.post-63978864894342266342010-05-18T17:01:12.258-04:002010-05-18T17:01:12.258-04:00If you want the quilt to grow without too much eff...If you want the quilt to grow without too much effort, set the blocks on point.

I received my Quilters Home in the mail yesterday but saved your article to read today.....today is my birthday, my 50th, so I figured I'd read if when I get home today because I know I'll need a good laugh to cheer me up after all the 50th birthday shenanigans that are sure to abound.
