Not done a lot to report today. Darren dropped me off in town so that I could go to the sewing machine shop. I needed wadding and some more material and also got a special quilting foot. I called  in at the studio on the way home for a quick cuppa and then came home to get started on the applique quilt. I struggled getting the squares set out in a symmetrical pattern, Tina helped and we had rulers, a set square and plenty of pins!!

Once that was done I started sticking the actual material squares down, started on the wrong side so my well planned placing scheme was out of the window! The one square I forgot to take the backing paper off so had to sort out the material and re-cut it! Did get them all ironed on, not perfectly, but on.

Have now started the somewhat laborious task of zig zagging them all on. Ever thought something was a good idea at the time??
