I picked out lots of grunge and grunge dot to make this beautiful Cross at the Walk Block!

Here are my top tips:

This block is all applique! I used Lite Steam a Seam 2 and a pencil. Trace the templates onto the paper side of the Lite Steam a Seam 2. Then iron to the BACK of the desired fabric. To save on fusible, nest the pieces so that it has fusible only on the edges of the shapes!

Cut out the shapes and place them on the block, iron in place. I used a Fusamat to not get adhesive from the trees on my ironing board. The trees extend past the background of the block

I used Aurifil monofilament thread with white thread in the bobbin to zigzag stitch the applique in place. The monofilament thread helps me to not need to change thread colors! This is more of a time saver when there are multiple applique pieces of different colors. Then trim the blocks to 12.5" square.

Ta Da! All finished!
