It is kind of like the first year for a newly wed couple...trying to find balance after uniting two individuals with their own personalities and independent natures. That first year definitely requires love, sacrifice and working together to establish strong roots for their future!<br /><br />It's perfect!<br /><br />And I love your pin toppers! Do you have a tut for those? Or can you point me in the direction for one? They are adorable!<br /><br />Kersten<br />frozenknickers.blogspot.comKerstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648881901864916930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511944874584135872.post-22652388441035261512011-12-02T20:47:16.270-05:002011-12-02T20:47:16.270-05:00Everything you make is so cute, Erin!

I draw my bird onto fusible web, the cut it out leaving about 1/8 of an inch around the drawing. I iron it to the back of my fabric, then cut out the bird on the drawn line, this is usually enough to keep it from fraying too much. Then I just iron my birds onto the background fabric and free motion stitch over them. I like the lines to be imperfect and to fall on the bird and the background fabric. Hope that helps!Erin @ Why Not Sew?

I'm getting ready to do my first quilt like this and I have no idea where to begin! <br /><br />1) When you do the applique or sew pieces on top of another piece of fabric, how do you finish your edges? fray check? hem them? etc.<br /><br /><br />2) Do you use iron-on interfacing to place them first?<br /><br />Thanks for your help!!Sarah @ This Crazy Blessed Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283384580789222052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511944874584135872.post-48667022490590677742011-12-02T07:31:43.717-05:002011-12-02T07:31:43.717-05:00Argh!
