Today I received the first of 9 blocks for Sea Breeze by McKenna Ryan. The colors are soft and somewhat patel. It is a different twist to a sea scape and so far think I'll enjoy making it. I like her patterns in that she designs them for fusible machine applique and therefore reverses the pattern pieces. In this manner when you trace to your fusible and iron the fusible on the wrong side of the fabric, then cut out and fuse to the backing they are all facing the same as in the picture.
Not all designers do that, so beware when you are working with fusible machine applique and you want the same look as the finished example be sure to read if the designer did the reversing for you. If not then you need to make a reverse copy of the patterns before transferring the design (pattern) to your fusible.
