Cactus Applique?
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]531280[/ATTACH]Hi Friends,
I'd like to add appliqued cactus to the brown border. If anyone has cactus clip art or another source of inspiration for this border, I'd love to see it. I'm a little intimidated to start as I have only needled turned one project and it was just large circles.

I'd be tempted to simply quilt cactus in the border rather than applique

I agree with OhCanada that quilting the outline of a cactus would look much better and be much easier.

That's an interesting block pattern. I like it.

this is exactly what popped into my head when viewing the picture. Imagine my surprise to scroll down and read the responses. I agree, quilt the cacti rather than applique. It will be super cute.

Here's some google images for you to consider. https://www.google.ca/search?q=sagua...hXRpYgKHSDhCq0

Far be it from me to interfere in your design but, when I saw it was cowgirls, I thought, that maybe a winding rope with a cactus flower once in a while on the rope was something that might be easier to apply to a border. Just a suggestion.

Try these. Luann
