More Green Tea and Sweet Beans


Here's my Igloo block that I made for Green Tea and Sweet Beans quilt by Jen Kingwell. I love to applique. It's very relaxing for me. I use the freezer paper method. There are many methods out there but this one works for me. I should have read the directions better.  I have to make 2 of these blocks but I only made one! That's okay, I'm starting the second block already!


Here are my blocks so far. I'm getting there! I have 5 more types of blocks left. I have to make more than one for most of those remaining blocks. However, once the blocks are done, I'll be starting the border. The border consists of a vine with appliqued flowers all the way around! Yup, nowhere being done with this one!
