Any of you that is following the Moda Blockheads BOW is thinking: That doesn’t look anything like block #22….Well, this is the alternative block graciously designed for all of us non-applique people by Lisa Bongean at Primitive Gatherings. As you can see I was able to fussy cut another of my fat chickens for the center square. I mistakenly said I purchased the chicken/rooster print fabric at JoAnn’s but I discovered it is actually a Waverly print from Walmart.
One of these days I will be happy with my applique, just not today and probably not tomorrow either. I think I have a mind block when it comes to applique, or I am just applique challenged.
Shown below is the ACTUAL block #22. It is called Birdhouse and is designed by the very talented Jan Patek. I did not sew the pictured block. It came directly from Jan’s website so you could see what a beautiful applique should look like. Believe me, if you saw my block it would look nothing like this.

Peggy,
You do such a nice job on stars – this is right in your comfort zone. Sometimes one has to step out of their comfort zones though . . . just sayin’. I am 100% sure your applique block would be just fine. But we’ll never know if you never try . . . just sayin’. ~smile~ Roseanne P.S. I do love your block!!

Thank you Roseanne. I know it will never get better if I don’t practice and I will…just not right now. 🙂 I sound like a 3 year old. LOL

Nah – just someone who doesn’t want to do applique right now. I’m in that club with you . . . and the first block of the QAL that started on Tuesday is applique. Geez. HAHA

I’m not into appliqué either, so you’re not alone. I appreciate the work involved, when other people do it, it’s just no something for me. I did 2 appliqué blocks in my very early Learning days, but they were enough.

I agree. If I don’t enjoy the process I pass until another day. 🙂
