I loved the video on cutting fabric and gave it a try.
The lollipop (swirl) is made from a piece of blue tie-dyed cotton stretch fabric. I cut the piece after ironing adhesive paper to the back and ironing on freezer paper to the front. Then, after cutting it out, I ironed it to the light gray twill.
The light gray twill "martian" (to the right of the lollipop) was sandwiched between sheets of freezer paper and cut, without using the iron on adhesive paper.
The swirl patch and the martian applique will be added to a quilting project I am making for my grandson.
