I noticed after appliqueing it down it doesn't seem to like to be wet. I don't care for that crinkly look that's beginning to happen. I'm really not sure how to handle that yet, but I better figure it out before I start the big quilt.

Celtic Knot Test Run
I played a little with bias tape and practiced my celtic knot yesterday. It turned out so pretty I decided to make something of it. I'm still not sure what I'll do in the green borders though.

What a beautiful celtic knot!
I've never tried making these, hopefully someone out there has some good tips to share.
That is really neat, Val! I couldn't quite picture it when you told me about it on the phone. --Dad
That is beautiful!! I love your Celtic knot as well as the stiches you surrounded it with. Great Job!! -- Mom
Did you fuse it before stitching or just stitch it down? Many times it has a fusible tape added to the back and I wonder if it would help. As I said I would like to make one also. Great job! Chris
I've never made one of these, but my sister does and uses a glue stick to hold her pieces in place (it is washable and stays soft for needling).
I really like your celtic knot!
Absolutely love your work! I've been making Irish Chain Quilts for my dgks and I like to hand quilt Celtic symbols in the blank square areas...maybe appliqueing the Celtic knot and then echo quilting around it would really look well. Your work is beautiful...looking forward to seeing your quilt that you are planning to do -- Deanna in SE Michigan
Very cool!
