I am learning to applique and thought this would be fun for all of us to chit chat here about applique. This way we can all learn together!

I took an applique class at my last quilt retreat. I have only done a little - by machine (can't by hand because of a problem with my thumbs). I did some applique on a table runner that I posted in my album:

Applique is my favorite kind of quilt. It's kind of like working in a coloring book. I've done the freezer paper/starch hand applique, but the prep time takes awhile. Lately I've been doing machine applique. Much faster, especially if you want to finish something in this lifetime.

But it was a fun project after doing all the larger quilts I've been doing. I also have a memory wall hanging for my grandson that should be finished next week.
