Hi everyone, Happy Daytona Race Day to those of us who love Nascar. I'm trying to get together a few hand quilting items to work on during the race today, and I came accross 2 Grandmother's Garden sections that I did. I must have had an idea in mind when I started them, but can't remember. they are done in St. Pat's fabric, so I'm now going to use them as part of a small table runner or wall hanging. My idea is to applique them on a background square and add sashing and borders. All simple enough. My problem will be the applique. Since they are all hexagons sewn together the edges are all uneven. What would be the best way to add the fusible web without making a mess aaround the edges where there is no fabric. I hope I explained that in a sensible way. Or should I cut the fusible webbing to just fint the center of the flower (the first 2 rows) and then overhand stitch the 3rd row down to the background square? I know this seems like a lot of quesstions, but I haven't done that much applique like this. Usually I certainly no with a pattern iron on the fusible, trace the pattern onto the paper side and basically follow through with no problems. But this is a little trickier. Am doing all this because my d-i-l mentioned to me yesterday that she hasn't "gotten" anything from me lately - hint,hint! Thanks for any suggestions. - Jane
