Luckily this is all by machine. This is just steam a seam and then blanket or decorative stitched over it. I have done the kind where you turn it inside out and top stitch it. And I have satin stitched.
My assistant is going to have what will likely be her only grandchild and she is picking out a pattern. I will be giddy to make the baby quilt because the mother is 42 (eek!!) and they thought they would never have a baby. But I have told her if they pick applique, my assistant will have to do all the tracing and cutting or they will have to wait until I am in a "good" applique cycle.
