  Step 1

  I used a metre of Hungry Caterpillar fabric (the dotted side, but without any caterpillars) and a metre of white flannel. For the edging I used some 70mm wide dark blue ribbon and the applique letter was made using some scrap green fabric I had. The whole thing is about a metre square

  Step 2

  I washed all the fabrics and ribbon before use to make sure that there would be no bleeding in the future. It was the first time I had tried applique and it was pretty easy! The hardest bit was sewing on the slippy satin ribbon around the edge. That bit could have been neater but I'm pretty pleased with the overall effect. You could add batting to make it more like a quilt, but I thought that I light blanket might be more versatile.

  Step 3

  I drew the letter on paper and used that as a template for cutting. I turned over the fabric edges by pressing them with an iron and hand sewed on the letter at the end of the project.

cute! Did you hand-sew the ribbon around the edge or did you use a machine?
