Having tried traditional appliqué by hand and contemporary appliqué by machine, I must admit that I found the modern method a lot easier and more enjoyable. However if I was living in a tropical paradise with time on my hands, I may think differently. Having finished Sample 17 and 18, I think they would have looked better if I had laid out the incomplete pieces of fabric in a more random style, to avoid the 'row/stripes', particularly in Sample 17.
