Love the blocks, you’ve done so far.  Just had a look at the web site and it is excellent for inspiration! I’ve never done raw edge appliqué: even when instructions say ‘raw edge’ , I end up satin stitching the edges with zig zag as I always worry that after all my work cutting out, the images might fray. Do you find they’re reasonably hardwearing?

[Sandra]

@Sheilago  I've no idea if they're hardwearing or not. They will (surely?) fray but I'm okay about that.

I've recently seen something about how much they fray where (Shiny Happy) Wendi tested how they washed but I've no idea exactly where I read it. 
Can't remember if she was testing different types/makes of Bondaweb?  :thinking:

They washed and looked okay. Better than I expected them to be.

Your latest one @Sandra is brilliant you are a very good sewer.

My Cat cushion I did a few months ago from her free pattern is standing up well, it doesn’t get a lot of wear though as it lives on my bed, every time I see it I smile.  I am thinking of doing a dog one for my friends birthday at the end of the month.

A spider monkey for this month.

I wasn't sure I liked it when I saw what this months surprise block was and my initial thought was to not bother to make it. 

The sample ones are shown in blues, red and a dark grey and I think maybe it was the colours I wasn't so keen on.
I've said that I intended to make these faces in 'realistic' colours as much as I could so it's browns for this one and I have to say that I like it better than I expected. I don't love it but it's recognisable as a monkey and it's not too bad.

Shiny Happy have given instructions recently as to how to put a glint in the eyes of the faces and (when I can be bothered) I think I'll try that on some of these one day.
