blocks? If so, do you think theyare too advanced for a first applique attempt? I have so many handdyed fabrics that will be perfect for these blocks. I have downloadedfour of them.

I'm charmed! I'd never seen these. Thank you so much for showing them to me. Maybe *this* is my next lap quilt for the family room.

As for your question, I think it "depends". There are lots of ways to applique; the real trouble will be if you choose the wrong way for *you*. If you're leery, maybe do it as fusible applique?

For me, if I *really* like the design, I don't care how hard it is.

I'm a silk thread/needleturn hand applique person; don't know if you're headed in a "hand" or "machine" direction. If you're doing hand work, the most challenging shapes are tight inside corners. For example.. the top-center of a heart, or the cleft where a branch forks from a larger trunk. That problem actually goes away if you do machine or fusible applique; I don't know what would be the most worrisome for those.

yep, they are adorable, have downloaded all of them, belong to the yahoo group too but as yet not done any of them, got too many other projects on the go, you know how that goes, lol how are u doing the applique, what method? jeanne*
