Anyway, it was already December before I got started, and I had not ever done applique, so somehow I figured that using my embroidery machine might avoid that particular hurdle. Henry Ford to the rescue with his assembly line method of construction, and I was off to the races.

| Assembly was a bit of blur, and I can say now, should there ever be a "next time", I'll opt for researching applique over doing the embroidery, as I definitely remember having fits getting the lettering lined up and stitched with my little embroidery machine. (We're not friends, yet. I haven't even named it.) |

| Finding the exact Argyle printed fabric as was used in the magazine for the band was what made me decide to do multiples. The issue was the May/June 2013 of Quilt-It Today, and the shopping didn't take place until December of that year. Seemed providential.
So, next time you think maybe I'll make that little project, go ahead and get enough supplies to go all Ford-like, assembly-line fashion and roll out a production line that will put last year's models to shame!
*A web search suggests that Quilt-It Today magazine is no longer in print. It seems their back stash is being offered for sale in UK. Guess I have a bit of a collector's item in my short stack. |
