More February finishes

My friend Julia gave me this kit that she wasn't going to make. It uses a grid that's printed very lightly on a thin fusible interfacing.

I never used this technique before. All of the squares are cut one eighth smaller than the grid square. then you fuse them in place. Then you stitch in rows.

This was broken down into a top and bottom half.  Here are the 2 halves with the squares fused on. You put them up next to each other and decide if you want to change anything. I changed 2 squares. You just steam the area and peel off the square and replace it. Easy!

Here I sewed all of the bottom half. See how much it shrunk?! 

Here it is with both halves sewn together,

Then you sandwich it like a pillow and sew around the edges and flip it right side out.

 Try to get those leaves to behave-not my favorite.

Quilted it around the outside edge and face and leaves and stem using matching thread. Buttons and raffia came in the kit. I have to sew them on yet. Calling it done!!

Here's my notebook of my finishes for this month. I was really productive. 

Baby Round about quilt with the binding done.
