Rose Of Sharon
 

Hello Ladies I have been away from QB for a while the reason is pictured below all machine applique on my new Singer Quantum (beautiful machine) I used variegated thread for the back and matching thread for the front for a reversible quilt it was a QAYG project I am hoping to add it to our local quilt exhibition next month.
(The green band is the hanging sleeve.)

Beautiful..front and back...

Wow, it turned out beautiful! That is a lot of appliqué but it turned out great.:thumbup:

absolutely beautiful!

Gorgeous! You definitely need to include it in your upcoming quilt show.

When you say machine applique... Is it fused then machined with a satin stitch or blanket stitch? Or is it what I called "Prepared" applique, which is turned under then applied with machine using a blind hem stitch?

I always love to know the technical details.

It's fused then machine applique I used triple stitches right through this technique is a first for me i used to hand applique, so much faster with the machine. Thank you for looking :)

Lovely! And I love the batik borders and sashing - they set off all the colors in the appliques without overpowering or clashing. Perfect choice. I think I might have to have it back side up at least some of the time if it were on my bed...
Very very nice.

Your quilt is beautiful! I have the Rose of Sharon dies for the Go. I haven't used them yet. Your quilt is very motivating to get started!
