Mucking around with apple core templates

I picked up some apple core foundation paper templates at the quilt show yesterday. I was itching to try them as the demo looked so easy... Should have paid more attention to the technique!








I clearly remember being told that the concave curves didn't need clipping but I couldn't work out any other way to get these to turn under.






I then appliquéd the whole lot down onto a solid blue fabric.





Looking pretty cute so far...






Added some accent stitching and followed Toni Coward's tutorial here to make a little zippered pouch. http://tonicoward.blogspot.com/2010/05/zippered-pouch-tutorial.html





The lining and back of the pouch is also from the Denyse Schmidt Fairgrounds range. The middle green apple core is Moda. The blue solid is Prima from Spotlight.





I'm pleased as punch as this will be a perfect present for Fia's friend!
Don't you love it when things turn out as they should?
