Sneak Peeks

Here is a sneak peek of the Patriotic quilt. I have 2 sides of the binding done. These stars are raw edge applique. I bought the stars from Keepsake Quilting. They sell a lot of different die cut shapes.


Here is a sneak peek of something I am working on for the Tea Swap that Stephanie is hosting. I bought a charm pack from Nanette after Christmas. It had some really fun stuff in it. The center of this block and the light fabric is from the pack.

Love the "sneak peak"...I think we'll be seeing a lot more of those among the tea swappers...it's hard to keep everything a secret!

Oh, I love sneak peeks - they are so much fun. :-) I love the die cut shapes that Keepsake Quilting offers. I have a package of hearts with some future plans. I love the starts.

I've never heard of a Tea Swap in regards to blogging. But, hey - I'm still in a big learning curve here so I'm enjoying the sneak peek.

I've always wanted to try those die-cuts from Keepsake - now I think I will! Cool sneak-peek, Carrie - thanks!
Cheers!

Aren't you smart to buy the stars already cut. I've never done raw edge applique but it sounds easier than needle turn. Am I right? Something tells me that I'll see this quilt completed in the next few posts!

Hi Carrie,

Does raw edge applique mean no neeedle turn? If so, what stitch do you use to fasten the shapes to the fabric? I like peeking but I can't wait to see the finished project!

The sneak peek was just that... sneaky. Your readers want more. I am eager to see the twill tape binding too.
