Default Checkerboard Flowers BOM

I finally finished the top for this Checkerboard Flowers BOM that I've been working on for two years. There are a lot of hours invested in this.[ATTACH=CONFIG]290275[/ATTACH]

Don't know why my pictures are posting weirdly, but this is my third try, so I'm going with it.

The applique pieces are pinked, and then top-stitched. The idea is that when the quilt is washed, the edges will fray giving them a three dimensional appearance, like in a rag quilt. Mainly, I used a straight stitch for the top-stitching, but for some, I used the fancy stitches on my sewing machine to give them a little texture.
