I must confess - I have never worn stiletto heels in my life! I do appreciate those who can wear them successfully cause they certainly are glamorous. For me, I value my feet and back too much. So I'll settle for looking at them and keeping them in my dreams!
But enough of that - let's get back to quilting. The applique of the Stiletto is pretty simple. It's the tricky side triangles that make this block appropriate for an intermediate quilter. Beginners may struggle a bit, but hey, there's no harm in trying! Of course, the fall back is to applique those triangles too.
You can make your Stiletto any color you want. I do suggest using three different values for the shoe, otherwise it looses it's form and sexy lines.
