So. Much. Applique.

I agreed to test the Dutch Darlings pattern by Christy  of Purple Daises Quilting.  It’s a beautiful quilt and I had been eyeballing it ever since I saw a snapshot of it on Instagram.  She uses a very glue dependent method of applique where all of the edges are turned in and held with glue against a foundation that stays in the applique pieces.

I have had the applique pieces cut for a while.  And I have stared at them.  All 172 pieces.

But not anymore!  Today is the day that I gather my glue sticks.  And more glue sticks.  But seriously, so much glue.

Orange Tulip.  Cotton and Steel has the best prints.

Once I get all of the applique pieces glued I think I might take the quilt to work and sew the pieces onto the quilt there.  We just got the Janome MC 9400 and I want to test out the Auto Pivot function.  Perfectly stitched applique?  Sign me up!

I love this fabric.  I’m pretty sure I’ll cry when I run out.

Today, I am linking up to (for the first time!) Sew Fresh Quilts.
