For our Faces of the Community Quilt we are using a raw edge applique technique to create the faces. During the design process, fabric is cut an fused into place. In order to ensure that all pieces remain securely attached, the next step is to stitch around the edges of each piece. Using a zig zag stitch reduces the potential for the edges to fray. 

Our guild has begun the process of stitching down the pieces on all of the blocks submitted. Here are a few sneak peeks of the stitched blocks!

Our Celebrate Quilting event this past weekend was a great success! Thank you to everyone who came out, our volunteers who worked hard to make it happen, our panelists who so generously shared their expertise, and the Huntsville Madison County Library for their partnership! Congratulations to our two winners who each took home a quilt!
