Applique Thursday After All

Well, I had to print a label, so since I fired up the old computer thought I'd post the photo of my finished block as it does have applique - the planes, the headstones and the flag. Here is the Oct block of our guild's BOM:

I learned couple of things in making this block. The planes look a little wonky and that's because I didn't hold the iron still as I was fusing them on. Also what looks green to me doesn't always translate to green on the screen. The grass looks a lot more green in real life. But that's okay as the grass at the National Cemetery is hard to keep a brilliant green and it does match the green of the fields.

Applique Thursday Not

My new computer is on life support. I'm writing this with my old one. Thank goodness I left it connected. But I'm so frustrated I'm just not going to do much for the next few days as this one acts up also and I don't want to take the chance on it dying too!

See you in a few days - once my boot disk arrives - I hope and pray.
