When I attached the fabrics to the first block, I had some glue go through and stick on the paper. This time I put plastic wrap down over the paper pattern. It worked like a charm! Where the glue made it through, the plastic pulled right off with no ill affects! I also used less glue than I did on the first block. I will try to use even less on the next block!
Here are some of the pieces, ready to be glued down:
Besides using my weights for exercising, they make great pattern holder-downers!Here is the center medallion, glued and ready to be sewn down:
I love how this turned out! My husband has been a great help with some of the fabric color choices too! It took almost as long to pick out fabrics as it did to prepare the snippets and glue them down! I want this to be as close to perfect in every way!Snow is in the forecast for tomorrow. This is VERY unusual for this part of the south! I am ok with it, as long as no one gets hurt. I think I will watch some movies tomorrow and sit and sew on the block. Of course I have to get groceries first, and run a few errands. But later...later...a girl can dream of down time to relax and sew, with a needle and thread!!!
Now, YOU go sew something!

I am hoping to get a start on my center block soon....it is waiting ever so patiently for me
