Stuffed Applique?
Is there such a thing as stuffed applique? I'm making Kathy McNeil 's cardinal block from her Audubon Christmas quilt after attending a workshop with Prairie Quilter's Guild in Wichita. Her birds are appliqued flat, as is normal, but now that I'm applying the birds to the background I feel I want to put a small amount of poly stuffing in them. I tried it on the first ones and like it, but I'm just wondering if this is a normal technique for applique. Is it crazy or cool?
