Moda Sampler Shuffle Week 6

Week 6 of the Moda Sampler Shuffle included a block that required appliqué.  As much as I enjoy looking at and admiring appliqué, I do not enjoy doing it, so I resort to the lazy form of appliqué called "raw edge".  Appliqué usually involves tedious hand work of folding down edges of fabric, stitching it to the base fabric. Instead I use a Fusable product that is ironed between the 2 pieces of fabric, then I tightly zig zag with my machine, the edges.  It doesn't look as pretty as traditional appliqué, but that's me, a little bit lazy!
I'm not afraid of handwork.  People who enjoy doing appliqué always tell me, "Don't be afraid of the hand work," and I'm not.  I've been doing embroidery for decades, winning about 15 blue ribbons at the Los Angeles County Fair, San Bernardino County Fair, and the Alameda County Fair over the past 25 years.  My stitches of embroidery are tiny and precise, and over the years I've improved how the back of my project looks, almost as good as the front of the project. So handwork is not something I'm afraid of.  I just don't enjoy appliqué, and avoid it when ever I can.
Thankfully the other two blocks this week were very easy and traditionally pieced blocks.  I'm eager to finish the 30 blocks and get this quilt going!!!!!!!
