I Love Coffee quilt

Not a great photo of my work, but you can see that I have pinned on the hearts to be appliqued. I'm really having fun with this quilt. I use freezer paper patterns and iron it on the back of the fabric, baste down the edges, and press them.  Then I remove the paper and pin in place.  This applique is placed by eye, and not at all measured. I guess I'm way past the accurate placement of applique stage. 
I'm not all better from my health problems yet, but I'm improving.  I was well enough to go and get my hair cut this morning, and to sew on my quilt this afternoon.

Your letters look great and I love the hearts. A friend sent me two rolls of freezer paper and I must have a go at freezer paper appliqué

Lookin' good! Feels good to get the hair trimmed too, doesn't it?

Looks like it's going to be a beautiful addition. I always have to get three opinions when I apply stuff like this. I don't trust my eye... I bet you are a pro!!! Thanks for always sharing with us.
