Hi Everyone -
I have jumped into the wool pile - and here is my foundation block.
I like the primitive, rustic-y look so have chosen dark colors so my applique will stand out. I've just pinned it together so far - next need to stitch the seams. My foundation - I used batting, muslin and wool on the top - seems to be a bit bunchy - any suggestions? I am so excited to finally achieved "lift off!" Happy sewing to all the wool-ites!
A New Year!

love the dark primitive feel. Do you think the "bunchiness" might just be due to the pins?? Can't wait to see your block as it grows!
I like the look of your colors. I have had some bunching also but it went away as I started to stitch. Just be sure to smooth it out as you go. It just might be caused by the handling of the fabric.
Love the dark colors. In a way I'm glad I haven't started yet because I'm getting lots of ideas from all of you. Look forward to seeing your progress. I agree with Karen, it's probably from the pins. I get the same feeling when I have my wool appliques pinned in place, but it always smooths out as you sew and remove the pins.
lOVE THE LOOK OF YOUR BLOCK, I have mine basted together and hope to be sewing on it this weekend. :) Thanks for sharing.
