I missed Thursday again! Ooops!
Is your stash starting to expand and invading other areas than your sewing studio? Are your bins muffin topped and about to explode at any minute? Do you feel overwhelmed? Not sure how to use it or what to do with it, and almost to the point of giving it away? I feel that way too, at times!
Not to worry! I believe I have a cure for this common ailment. Let’s bust our scraps, especially those little pieces that seem to multiply when your back is turned.
Each Thursday I will find some patterns that will deal with the little pieces and even some of the larger and odd pieces that we all tend to accumulate.
Sometimes, our borders need a little POP! Today let’s continue our stroll down Border Lane, but be forewarned there might be detours along the way.
Our first one is how to do applique on your borders. This is from The Quilt Show, Julie’s Tips, Tricks and Techniques.

Or, how do a vine applique border. This is from My Sewing Room. I’ve always wanted to learn how to do this, and it looks like fun!

Or how to applique after the quilt is already quilted? Say what? You can actually do that? Of course. Here is the tutorial from The Gourmet Quilter.
