There's the odd quilt that requires another heavy spray with water and a second iron over but this isn't the norm. It's more work than necessary if you're happy with crinkly quilts but I prefer mine flat so I'm happy to do it - Chris :DChris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-34680331239271159252014-08-11T10:57:03.579-04:002014-08-11T10:57:03.579-04:00Thank you so much for sharing!

I've never worked with either and am definitely intrigued. I love, love, love that fox print. Fabric like that is so hard for me to resist. I'm not brave enough to take on appliquéd circles of this magnitude - I'm just getting the hang of machine appliqué. The wavy quilted lines are just perfect.
