are you talking about using the "puffy" paint around the applique instead of stitching them down?
I myself have never had good luck with the stuff on other projects. It can be VERY messy and sometimes it comes off really easy after it has dried exp. in the washer. I personally would not use it on a quilt!
Now if you are talking about actually using fabric paints (non puffy paint kind) and painting the WHOLE "applique" instead of using fabric then I think it could be beautiful like other posters have said. But puffy paints. ahhhh.
