Grandmother's Choice 7: Alice's Flag

Today I'm referring you to Hildegard von Bingen. Talk about the ability to get stuff done! She really rocked her world with her accomplishments.
Take a look at some of her greatest hits:

The block went smoothly this week. It's a field made of three strips, and an appliqued star on top.
I made the star by printing the pattern and attaching it to the fabric using 3M Post-It glue.
Scary expensive, but a little goes a long way.

Just a touch of glue on the paper held it to the fabric long enough to cut the shape out. Tip: apply the glue to the paper/fabric that will be reused. You can remove and reset the piece several times. I use this stick in my machine embroidery as well.
Then I took some dual-sided iron-on interfacing, a la Steam a Seam and applied thin strips of it to the back of the star on the edges. Iron on, remove paper and iron onto the field, quick and easy.
Then I chose a coordinating yellow embroidery fabric and stitched a double blanket stitch to hold the edges down.
