They made these faux stained glass sticker sort of things that you could put onto your windows - especially good for sliding glass doors so people wouldn't accidentally walk thru' them. They were vinyl & the inside of the black outlines (leading) were die cut, then the colored parts were actually painted in. At first they hand-cut the outside of the black "leading" & I helped do that while I was there (free labor!). That's when I learned the whole trick of holding the scissors still & moving the piece. Sometimes I even remember that too! lolquiltzyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847188443140845514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-24159300513514143822014-02-04T17:28:57.540-08:002014-02-04T17:28:57.540-08:00You are an expert at these kids of projects and it...You are an expert at these kids of projects and it looks fantastic so far.

I always look forward to it when you post it. I also do complicated applique quilts and also just take 1 piece at a time them I am amazed when I am able to fuse things on the background piece and see what I accomplished. I do wait until all the pieces on the block are complete before I fuse anything. I just put every piece aside (like the chickadee and pole) then fuse them all at once. But mistakes happen and only you will know about them. Good luck and enjoy the process.
