Finished my Sis Boom Pow Blocks

Haven't done much applique since I finished the center of the medallion of Comsati (my header quilt) so it was good to get back to it. I am just a beginner at applique.

Well Victoria ask for applique for the Sis Boom Pow blocks, so I got out my Easy Applique Blocks book by Kay Mackenzie and chose the vase. This cool book has a CD so I went to the index and chose my design and the size I wanted (so easy) and printed it out. I used the starch method for these.



Hope they work for the quilts Victoria is making. I sure had fun putting them together.

Mary,
I really love your Bella Bella quilt that is in your header picture!! I have the book and hope to make one some year! I love the blue you used and how it brought out the blue in your multi colored fabric. Very well made!
