[QUOTE=dunster;5789000]One of my guild members showed us a quilt done this way at our last meeting. She is a very talented professional longarmer. If I understood the process - first she did an all-over on the pieced quilt, which was rectangles of neutral tones, then she laid down her applique pieces (fused to a very lightweight fusible) and stitched around them, then clipped the edges. Here's her blog showing the quilt and explaining the process - and I took the picture!
Thankyou Dunster for the link to Jean Daniels site..I have bookmarked it as it looks very interesting and will go back and look at more of her work,
