  2. Good on you for trying! If you don't try how do you know if it is something that will work or now? Trying new things is good. It is the mother of invention!

  3. I don't know if this posed before–if so, I apologize for the double post. I said that you could have quilted that shape if you had put a layer of tulle over it first. Also, you could have done it easily with the tulle and a hoop. It was the raw edges that messed you up, not the shape necessarily.

    MAYBE you should try sewing the edges down as RAW EDGE applique… that would keep the block pieces in better control while you quilt on the pieced portion of the block then you can FMQ any pattern you want. RAW EDGE APPLIQUE is how many art quilts are done. YOu can also use fusible to tack down the scrap pieces but that sometimes gets kind of stiff. THE SECRET to quilting is CONTROL what you are doing on the sewing machine…. Keep up trying.
