Starting another block

I have been looking at this UFO on and off for a while thinking I must get on with it. I have put quite a bit in storage while we rent and build and it seems one of the items is the black background felt I need for these blocks.
I have all my coloured felt and plenty of freezer paper so I can move forward a bit at least.
These are the pieces for the next block. They are reversed here because I have left the paper on the front. I lightly spray a sheet of paper with spray baste glue and stick the pieces down paper side down. I then spray the back with the spray baster. Sticking them down first stops them being blasted away by the spray. I then stick them onto the black background and peel off the freezer paper.

This is how it should look (from the pattern)

Cheers,
Val

Block 3 continued

Spent an hour last night cutting out the flowers then spent an hour this morning sewing some on.

I glue the pieces on with 505 temporary spray basting glue. I set up the pieces wrong side up on a sheet of tissue then spray gently from about 30cm away. The first time I tried this for the house parts I sprayed gently but was a bit close and the pieces flew away.

I used the same piece of tissue paper. Just pulled it gently apart where I had folded the sticky part in from last time and placed the pieces on. It wasn't sticky enough to be a problem.
