Block #6 of the I Wish You a Merry QAL is designed by Sandra Healy of Sandra Healy Designs. As you can see I have not completed my embroidery and outlining around the angel and stars. This is another project that looked very good in my head but when I attached the applique to the fabric…not so good. The gold lame’ fabric I picked for the wings and sleeve is entirely too transparent. The good thing is I think I can pick another fabric and attach it directly over the lame’.
The angel’s dress is a pretty white with silver sparkles and the blue background is an ombre fabric with sparkles, neither shows up that good in the picture.
Other than my fabric choices it is a very cute block.
Thank you Sandra.
You stay right on top of the QAL’s and BOM’s. That is great. Angel block is neat!

Hi Peggy! I love this block, gold lamé or not. I can see the sparkles in the blue, and the smaller blue blocks are lovely. I think it’s a really nice job. ~smile~ Roseanne

I try my best to like applique but as my grandson would say when he was little, “I just can’t like that.”

Aww, that’s cute. There has been a lot of appliquéd blocks lately between the two QALs. It’s not my favorite thing on a good day! ~smile~ Roseanne

Hi Peggy, your Angel block is lovely! I love the blue patterned fabrics you chose. I always realize that a fabric shows through after I iron it down too. A QAL participant who did the same felt it gave her angel an “ethereal” quality and I think the same is true with yours 😇

Awe sad you are not happy with the block. It’s always disappointing when that happens. I hope you fall in love with it when you make your changes.
