What better time to finish than now?<\/p><p>This is a scan of a 4&#8243; x 6&#8243; post card purchased years ago in Monaco. My husband is a Grand Prix racing fan, and I&#8217;ve always loved Art Deco posters. This is one of my favorites&#8230; I just love the colors!<\/p><p>I started on the design years ago, building a fabric palette to represent the colors. I even started on the main appliqu\u00e9 for the car. My goal was not to use raw edge appliqu\u00e9 if at all possible&#8230; I may have to break that resolution for the palm trees.\u00a0<\/p><p>One of the main challenges is how to add the background details in&#8230; and how many are really needed. The yellow section is the biggest challenge for me, although adding the second car and additional details on the white race care will probably require more than just appliqu\u00e9 details. Options include:<\/p><ul><li>embroidery \/ top-stitching from right side of fabric<\/li><li>bobbin work (which means using thicker decorative threads, cords or ribbons wound on the bobbin to show on the front side&#8230; this allows you to work with threads that can&#8217;t easily go through the needle)<\/li><li>fabric painting<\/li><li>appliqu\u00e9<\/li><\/ul><p>Check out the final quilt

These are a huge boon to any serious quilter and are easy to make.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Materials<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong>4&#8242; x 8&#8242; x 1&#8243; green insulation board<\/strong> (available at Lowe&#8217;s or similar).

This allows it to fit under doorways in our house.<\/li><li><strong>Two pieces of fabric cut 2&#8243; wider and 2&#8243; longer than your insulation board piece.<\/strong> I use black for one side, a light neutral for the other.<\/li><li>Circular needle<\/li><li>Straight pins (T-pins are wonderful!)<\/li><\/ul><p>Here&#8217;s the insulation board I use:<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowes.com\/pd\/Kingspan-Insulation-Common-1-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-Actual-1-in-x-4-ft-x-8-Feet-R-5-Unfaced-Polystyrene-Foam-Board-Insulation\/999972966\">https:\/\/www.lowes.com\/pd\/Kingspan-Insulation-Common-1-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-Actual-1-in-x-4-ft-x-8-Feet-R-5-Unfaced-Polystyrene-Foam-Board-Insulation\/999972966<\/a><\/p><p>I use home dec fabrics, typically 54&#8243; wide.

Then coax the open edges over the insulation board <strong>being careful to put the unprinted side underneath the light neutral side so the print does not show through<\/strong>! Gently tug the fabric down over the insulation board, checking to make sure the side seams stay somewhat centered over the edges of the board.<\/p><p><strong>Final seam: time for that circular needle!<\/strong> First, snug up the light fabric over the end of the board, then tuck 1\/2&#8243; under the black backing fabric, pulling it over the light fabric.

I&#8217;ve had a lot more experience with appliqu\u00e9 since I originally started this quilt. My preference is for turned edge appliqu\u00e9, because it&#8217;s more robust and will hold up better with washing. However, raw edge appliqu\u00e9 may be the best choice for the palm trees. As long as the main cuts are on the bias, it won&#8217;t unravel. The problem is with thin strips cut along the grain \u2013 they will pull out and deteriorate with time and use.<\/p><p><strong>a Detail Strategy (in order of preference):<\/strong><\/p><ul><li><strong>Turned-edge appliqu\u00e9<\/strong> for main car and background cars, plus shadow.<\/li><li><strong>Turned-edge appliqu\u00e9 for all lettering<\/strong>&#8230; using <strong>apliquick<\/strong> method and tools (see apliquick.com).<\/li><li><strong>Thread painting \/ bobbin-work<\/strong> for additional background detail needed in gold and green layers. Perhaps small appliqu\u00e9s for larger areas if appropriate.<\/li><li><strong>Additional thread work or bobbin work<\/strong> for large appliqu\u00e9 details if needed&#8230; straight line, not satin stitch.<\/li><li><strong>Fabric painting<\/strong> if I&#8217;m absolutely desperate, or not happy with bobbin-work options. I prefer the effect of thread for quilt details.<\/li><\/ul><div><strong>The main risk here is the thread painting \/ bobbin work<\/strong>. I have a couple new products to try: <strong>Sulky sticky fabri-Solvy<\/strong>, and <strong>Stitch &#8216;N Wash<\/strong>. Both can be printed on with inkjet printers. The advantage here is that they will serve as stabilizers for the threadwork, but can be dissolved afterwards, reducing the bulk of the final appliqu\u00e9. <strong>I&#8217;ll need to do a couple tests<\/strong> <strong>before starting on my good fabric<\/strong>.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><p><strong>Layer sequencing \/ build up:<\/strong><\/p><ol><li>Blue fabric top, red ochre fabric bottom. This is the base layer&#8230; the two will be separated by the green and gold layers.<\/li><li>Green hills layer gets added next, after details added in. Top edge only turned under, can be stitched to blue layer when placement is finalized.<\/li><li>Gold building layer added next, after additional thread details added in. Top edge only turned under at first, and stitched to green layer when placement is finalized.<\/li><li>Car appliqu\u00e9s must be finalized and laid out on quilt with all edges turned under. Once this is done, the location for the gold layer bottom-edge can be finalized and turned under, then stitched to the red ochre bottom layer.<\/li><li>Background palm trees (lighter green)<\/li><li>Top palm tree (darkest green)<\/li><li>Lettering<\/li><\/ol><p>After that, the job is making sure everything is stitched well into place. I&#8217;m leaving my background fabrics trimmed to 50&#8243; wide to ensure I have adequate margin for squaring off and trimming everything after all appliqu\u00e9s and design elements are in place. It could end up wider than 44&#8243; wide&#8230; my car appliqu\u00e9 is currently looking a bit wide. This will give me ample margin to tweak my layout.<\/p><p>I have opted to use a modern font with a complimentary style, rather than duplicating Geo Hamel&#8217;s text. I&#8217;ve also decided to do the bottom text in black&#8230; it will make a more striking contrast with the background and balance well with the shadow under the car. The fonts are shown in the modified image, top left, superimposed over the original poster in black.

Then I trimmed the fabric allowing ample allowance for turning under or overlapping with another layer.<\/p><p><strong>For the car appliqu\u00e9<\/strong>, I made crosses on scraps of vellum paper, then pinned them in place over the grid points for the car.<\/p><p><strong>On the design wall itself<\/strong>, I inserted straight pins with round heads at the grid points, allowing me to feel the grid points easily through layers of fabric. This allowed me to get place the car fairly accurately on the design wall. Note&#8230; this appliqu\u00e9 is still a work in progress&#8230; much more detail needs to be added, and I have not turned any raw edges under. But you can start to see how the colors are coming together.<\/p><p>I&#8217;m not sure if the dark green is too dark for the palm tree&#8230; there are lighter shades in this fabric.
