When Carol announced that the theme for this month's blog hop is transportation, I was really excited because I have a trip around the world quilt that is waiting for applique. My plan is to add a train, a plane, a car, a covered wagon, and other applique around the border of the quilt. But I had to decide which direction all these motifs should go.
This picture does no show the wide border.
How about putting them close to the binding so that it would look good when draped off a table.
Plus I have to find motifs that look like they belong together.
Since I am working right now, I didn't find time to make all of these decisions. But I recently came across this postcard I had made a while ago. So I made a decision to make a small postcard. This will be a good warm up for the border. I think I am going to use a different, slightly more complicated plane.
I added batting between the front and the back, but to give it some structure, I added a piece of cardboard.
Here is the finished postcard.
This is the back just to prove it is a postcard.
I am hoping to continue with the UFO so that I can make more progress on it this year, but for now the postcard will have to do.
Thank you for visiting. Please be sure to check my last post for the list of all of the other participants in the blog hop.
