Default re-work

You have the whole top sewn together,right? So find something in your stash that contrasts/looks good with the top,then cut your borders and some appliques from that-say stars or circles or butterflies,fuse them with heat n bond light and scatter over your quilt top,add borders and you have an original,one-of-a-kind quilt top! i went to a class at AQS nat quilt show called "the fudge factor" and the teacher showed ways of using applique to hide mis-matched seams,etc. It really started me to thinking. When you applique with fusable,you need to stitch around the edges with your machine to make sure they don't come loose-I use a fancy stitch,but you could raw-edge as welll. Good luck!
