The final large "The Wish Quilt" block is finished. Hooray!
I had a few problems tracing the Santa and sleigh design onto the green stripe fabric so, after some discussion with a friend, I traced the design onto Solvy and stitched through that. It has worked really well but could probably do with another rinse as the linen still feels a bit stiff. I'm using Solvy for the little floral sprays on the red background too. This isn't the sticky Solvy that I've seen recently on some blogs, it's the Solvy I use for machine embroidery. I hope to find the sticky Solvy at the Quilt Show next week because printing directly from the scanner to the Solvy would be great in many instances.
4 little blocks to go and I'll be done!

Love the design, yes it is a bit too detailed to freehand the design, I was going to suggest a transfer pencil but it sounds like you found the perfect thing to use
It looks lovely, I have not heard of sticky printable solvy.
Your Santa and sleigh are just gorgeous .
Thats a beautiful block you've stiched....& just spotted the shoes on the post below....gorgeous!!

It's beautiful! You will love the printable Solvy, I use it for more intricate designs.
Oh Lynda......your block is just gorgeous...love it....I have used the solvy a couple of times...good stuff...
Hi Lynda, Have you ever tried "Press and Seal" a product by Glad.It is actually used for baking, it works really well and will stick by itself to fabric, it then peels away.Worth a try.
The Wish Quilt is looking fantastic! Great problem solving, I have never used either of the solvy's.....
