They consider it to be wasteful, putting one layer of fabric over another layer of fabric.
That said, the quilt is pretty & interesting. It's set in a garden maze setting.

The quilt is at the top on the right. Click on the picture of the quilt & you will get a larger view of it.
I saw one called Heart of Roses on that link, and it was definitely applique, but it said that it was quilted by an Amish woman. Couldn't see anything like AOTH though.
There is a book for that quilt...ask me how I know, lol.
Is this thread strictly for information?
If so,...point me to the "fun/conversational" thread. I don't want to get my stuff in the wrong places.
I'm a talking mousie...and I can't help it, but I will be very busy soon. ;-)
