I did raw edge applique! I always do raw edge applique because I don't like to torture myself with needle turn...LOL. I will only do needle turn if the pattern or quilt is going to be a masterpeice rather than this kind of a quilt...which is a wallhanging for my daughter.....which is FUN!
I really like the look of it. Would you mind sharing exactly how you cut the pieces, adhere and sew them on? I imagine this is the quickest method for applique and I love the look!! It is right up my alley. I love that the edges are unfinished. Do you wash quilts like this so they kind of get a ragged edge? I wonder if that would add some character to the quilts .....

Cheers and thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
