Celtic Applique

Yesterday I taught another quilt class. This time it was Celtic applique. Three ladies signed up to take the class and here are their blocks.

 This batik one is finished because the student that made this block used fusible strips on her bias. She will now sew her knot with the sewing machine.
This is the pattern I teach from. I finished one of the blocks. This is one of the easier blocks. The one above is the one I show the students how to make because it has mitered sections which can be a little tricky but as you can see they all are making beautiful blocks.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Wow, that would have been a great class - well done to the ladies with what they have achieved.

Wow! And to think, I'm still nervous about making bias stems for the first time, with no knots (at least, no INTENTIONAL knots!). :-)

That is so cool!

They all did a great job! I would definitely have to use the fusible / machine method. I was just commenting to Karen (Log Cabin Quilter) that I would like to try applique' next year.

You must be a great teacher, Carrie - your students work really shows it!
Cheers!

I really love that, it is something that I would like to try. I got bias makers but might have been too thick, too hard to turn.

I've always been fascinated by Celtic appliqué and these blocks look gorgeous. That pattern you are using looks like great starting point.
