Return to the Wild applique quilt pattern features a loon paddling along a waterway as can be seen in Maine. These long-bodied birds with checkered black and white backs are impressive swimmers and divers.
This wall hanging can be made individually or combined with the other two Return to the Wild Northeast series of patterns to create a large 34" x 42" combined wall hanging. The last photo shows the combined wall hanging using all three patterns.
Wildfire Designs Alaska patterns are designed for fusible applique, so I recommend that you use an Applique Pressing Sheet. The pattern contains a layout guide, full size applique pattern pieces that are already reversed, and instructions. Although the instructions do not say this, I recommend that all the applique pieces should be sewn down to the quilt top after fusing using the stitch of your choice (straight stitch, zig-zag, buttonhole or satin stitch).
