Trace the applique shapes onto the paper side of your fusible web. I use Flexifuse. I then group the shapes using the same color with the fabric. |

Go thru your fabric and pull the colors that you are going to use for the block. |

Group the shapes with the fabric colors. Following the manufacturer directions, I then iron the fusible web onto the backside of my fabric. Then cut all the shapes out... |

Following the pattern placement sheet, position all the applique shapes on the cream background rectangle. Notice how some of the shapes overlap. Iron everything in place. |

Each month will feature an applique design, I have a stash of basic colors that I use for applique, I bet you do too! You will also need a basic cream or white for the applique blocks. You will need 1 3/4 yards of a cream/white background fabric. It can be a tone on tone or neutral print. This cream fabric will also be used for the top and bottom boarders along with some pieced cornerstones. You can also get scrappy with your cream fabrics! The applique blocks will measure 8 1/2" x 10 1/2" (this includes the seam allowance).

Here is what I consider a 'shiny object'.... brand new fabric bought for a special project. |

I purchased these soft flannels for some receiving blankets for the new little one. |

I made a set of four blankies for our new granddaughter. We can't wait until her arrival in October! These blankets are fun and easy to make. I use 1 and 1/4 yards of two different flannels. I sandwich two coordinating flannels right sides together and then square them up and round the corners. Pin it all together and sew a half inch seam all around leaving a 3" space for turning. Clip the corner curves... then turn right sides out. I like to do a decorative top stitch all around. That it! All done! They are warm and snuggly and wash up well. I even have a little extra flannel to make some burp cloths to match. |

I find it to be helpful to lay all of the parts out on my cutting board in the configuration that they will be sewn. |
Happy Stitching,

You will also need a basic cream or white for the applique blocks. You will need 1 3/4 yards of a cream/white background fabric. It can be a tone on tone or neutral print.
