Apliquick with me - Raven Block 2

I like the colors you picked for the pumpkin. Can't wait to see the blocks as you do them! I just love this.

Great tips! I really like your fabric selection, especially the movement of the wing fabric. Perfect!

I love this quilt so much I bought the book twice…one day I will make it 😊. Love watching you make this.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Jillian! I can see why you would! I haven't been able to get ahold of new copies of the pattern for my shop, so I'm wondering if it may be out of print. There may be a desperate sewer you can help out in the future!

Your videos are great- and your music selections. Do you have a playlist listed somewhere?

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks so much! I'm sorry, I don't. I choose the music through my editing software.

These tutorials are so helpful Olivia. Thank you. I want to try my hand at appliqué. Can you recommend a beginner pattern? I have collected most of the tools needed but thought a small project would be good for my first one.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you!! The baskets will be perfect to start you out! Have fun!!

If I am making a quilt for a bed, will the fusible paper be too stiff? Thank you for showing this method!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Hi Ann, that's a great question. Unfortunately I haven't yet washed a quilt with the paper in it. I'm currently in the process of hand quilting one, but it's not ready to wash yet. What I've read on the internet is that the paper gets much softer after washing (maybe try a google search with "apliquick paper" and "softness" or something similar). I just can't speak to it myself yet. As soon as I get the opportunity to test it out, I'll make a video about it. Without washing, I would say it really depends on how much is in there. Once you start layering shapes with the paper in it, those areas get fairly stiff. It's so hard to communicate stiffness in words, though, lol. I wish I could let you feel it through the screen!
