A piece of green fabric with shapes cut out so it looks like swiss cheese. It's laid out on a white paper towel, and that is set on a partially completed applique border of vines and leaves on a rust background.
Amusement for appliquers - can I get 6 more leaves? I've never forgotten a "use every scrap" quilter ranting about applique: "They just cut pieces every which way! Just right out of the middle!" It makes me laugh every time I take out a piece of "swiss cheese" fabric. #quilting #applique #quiltsky
