Here is a quilt i made my grandaughter for Christmas. I did a double irish chain, and then a diamond in square to alternate. I made the mistake of asking her if there was anything special she would like on her quilt lol well, she said, grandma, i would just love some bunnies and hearts, but just if you can do them grandma...soooo, this turned out to be a really hard quilt to do. I dont have a long arm machine, and trying to quilt it when i got to the centre of the quilt was really hard! lol, so next time i will divide my quilt in quarters, and quilt smaller pieces. Anyways, this was my very first attempt at applique, and ohhhh, it was hard. I tried to turn the edges under on the bunnies and hearts, but it was too hard to do, so i just zigzagged them, but i dont know if i ever want to try applique again, but i did get it finished, and she just loved it. I am learning as i go, and i think next time i should have put some quilting in the wide border too, but i'm learning :)
