ASHTRAY - DAY THREE

Seam allowances!  What was I thinking?!

My plan was to appliqué by hand...too much...too impatient...too many pins!

So, I took all the papers off the backs of the pieces and re-pinned and started machine appliquéing the pieces down.  It's a learning experience.  It was hot in the studio, I was frustrated and feeling incompetent.  I'm wishing I hadn't made it so big.  I thought about tossing this one and starting over without seam allowances.  But, I'm out of one of the fabrics, or at least I don't have enough, I think.

Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
