Nancy Jo.... Spelling & i.. Dissagree on a daily basis.. !
Are you asking about 'Appliqued'? yep... that looks perfect to me!
Glad you all like this!
I LOVE Halloween!! My ALL time ABSOLUTE Favorite Holiday!
I Love everything about it! & everything that comes with it.. probably more then anything.. the Fall!!!!
Carol Sue had sent me 13 blocks.. she DID applique all the pieces on each block.. i think with like a Fusible webbing..(?) i am REALLY Guessing here.. because I am NOT a Quilter..! So wehn she sent them to me.. i KNEW that wehn i washed them.. they'd all start peeling off.. at least I thought they would anyway.. SOOOO.. I STITCHED EACH & EVERY SINGLE TEENY DANG PEICE on to it's block again!
ok.. calm down.. i did it with the sewing machine.. I DON'T have the patience to do that on hand stitching are you kidding.. you know how high strung i am.. i'd end up throwing it somewhere!
BUT look at it..i MEAN EVERY teeny piece.. Even things like the eyes on the jack-o-lanterns.. & all those stems.. & Stars.. & leaves.. I MEAn all of it is Stitched down!! So THEN... i pieced them all together.. with my Strips!!
Awful purty.. huh!
But.. like I said.. My Girl Carol Sue Did all the work..I just tacked them together!!

ok gals it was a block swap with a quilt group and i participated with mom. so she made all the same block and hers is the bottom left one on the finished quilt. I gave mom all of my blocks a long time ago and so there shall be no tiff about who keeps it. sorry miss beverly(nice try though). an applique quilt is really easy and fun too all the pumkins were thought up and made by hand. so kathie enjoy your quilt made with lots of love my favorite has always been the cat popping out of the pumkin. Carol sue will be here to comment on it tommorrow she is currently at a quilt retreat with her quilt group she left yesterday and is probably having tons of fun as we speak. IdEA we should have a mjf quilt retreat for those that want to do it.

OOOOORRRR!! Snaps!!
i Like the idea of Snaps!!
Since at your age old girl.. you probably won't really be able to keep up the all those buyttons on your own.. Snaps will be REALLY super easy for those that have to help you!!
OR!! better yet!! VELCRO!!!
( By the way.. i'm really only a few years behind you ya know.. so.. right there with ya Girlfriend!)
