Plan It!
Always full of mischief, Bill and Floyd are back again. You can create their Halloween hijinks in simple fusible appliqué and machine piecing and quilting, so you'll have this wall hanging ready to greet your trick-or-treaters.

To speed up the fusible appliqué process, Julie secured the appliqué raw edges while completing the quilting. She machine zigzag stitched along the appliqué edges with black thread (green for the stem).
