The four wreaths were appliqued on. The pattern itself was done with freezer paper, which was quite a time consuming thing and something that I don't think I have done since. I seem to have found quicker ways of doing things.
And this is where I am at with the cathedral windows. Anyone who has made a whole quilt out of these has my utmost admiration. It has taken me all week to do this and boy is it fiddly.
My sewing/ironing was obviously not that great, as some of my points did not all meet nice and tidily in the middle. So, to get over the problem, I have sewn on little white bows, which look really cute and hide the mess underneath!
There are still a few more bows to sew on. One thing that I didn't realise was the need to sew the white edges down. I had sewn my edges really neatly with 'invisible' stiches, so that the stiching wasn't showing, but when i finished, it just didn't look right. So, I had a look at all those lovely pictures out there and quickly realised that every one sewed on the top. I remedied mine this afternoon, with some machine stitching and it looks great now. But what a waste of time, doing it all so neatly!
I will definately do these again, maybe black with really bright colours
