I just finished going through some boxes of material that was given to me,I found dresden pieces put together.All hand sewn.They are small and have raw edges.There is enough for about 3 quilts.All raw edges.Would it be right to applique them to a sq.?Some have bigger holes in center but enough of the same size for a quilt.The smaller size hole is enough for 2 quilts I would appreciate any help in this matter.I would post a picture but I don' know how.

Yes, they are usually appliqued to a plain block, can be done by machine or needle turn.
It also looks nice with blanket stitch. Once the motifs are appliqued to the background, a center circle is appliqued to cover. example [ATTACH=CONFIG]198426[/ATTACH] |
thank you so much,I need to know if I have to turn the edges or can I just applique it raw
|
I'm not sure if the raw edges will hold up thru regular use and washings.I turn mine and applique with embroidery thread.That's the way my mom did it and I love to do the embridery while I watch t v.FayZ

You can do either. Traditionally, they're turned edges, but you can do raw edge.
