ORANGE PEEL PROGRAM
Liz gave a wonderful program on different ways that you can do an orange peel block. These blocks would be great for scrap busting. There are many techniques to make orange peels and many different layouts that you can use in making a quilt. We focused on the applique method with fusible interfacing and turning. It gives the orange peel a nice clean curve while the interfacing holds the peel in place to the background while you applique it. You can choose many different ways to applique or hand stitch this block down. This would give you a chance to get to know your machine stitches. Zig zag, satin stitch, or blanket stitch. You can always hand applique as well for a seamless look.
