This two-fabric applique octopus design is elegantly simple! Just lay the applique fabric on top of the background fabric, and cut away the parts of the applique fabric that you don't need, exposing the background fabric! No templates, no numbering system, no positioning of small pieces to create the design. What could be easier? Materials Needed: 3/4 yd (or 1 yd if used to bind the quilt) background fabric; 3/4 yd (or 1 yd if used to bind the quilt) applique fabric; 3/4 yd backing; Applique thread to match the applique fabric; 27" x 39" batting; 27" x 39" double-sided fusible web.
