Yesterday was the big day, I dare to ask an invitation!
I decided to make Kim's quilt last April after a very sad experience... Afterwards, I needed to do something positive, constructive on a long-term basis and there it was, in a book, a real revelation to me: Kim's "Hearts & Flowers" quilt!!!
BUT... I never did any appliqués in my life!??! Oups!
So I surfed on the net during hours and hours until I found several tutorials to teach myself.
On the other end, my block isn't really perfect (quite wonky) and I already think about beginning a new one (Lollipop Trees?), my "chef d'oeuvre";)
But first I will continue to "practice" on my "Hearts & Flowers" quilt until I'll feel confident enough to begin a new pattern -with the absolutely amazing hand appliqué method.
And if you want to give me (and others) a piece of advise, please, do NOT hesitate!!! I would be delightful to read them.

I made a tentative with hand appliqué (the whole heart in the middle) but I changed my mind while doing the petals (machine appliqué) where I used Kellie's method.
Now, to be honnest, after having discovered your community and reading all your posts (and blogs) I'm struggling between hand and machine appliqué...
I'd love to do a new tentative with the needle and turn method but I'm afraid at the end my quilt will look like a "meltingpot of techniques" (lol)
