The one I started but never finished (due to child I was making it for changing her mind on what she wanted) was rather large (9"-10") pale purple blocks with raw edge appliqué dark purple silhouette Tinker Bell figures enlarged from the Tinker Bell fabric planned for the back. The wings were scrappy pink and purple prints needle turn appliqué. Still have a copy of the silhouette in case I ever decide to do it for another little girl.

Doghousemom I just love it! Everything about that chemo quilt is great! I see you varied the length of your strips, did you just cut some in half before sewing them together? Wish I could see the quilting. So the appliqué was done as a raw edge method?
And now looking back at these I just love all the silhouettes! Just fantastic ladies! Now I need to look for a skateboarder image to do this on my brother's quilt I'm just starting. And I want to find cats for my granddaughter. Oh the possibilities! These are so awesome! I just love you guys!

This is a recent top I did. Not finished yet. Found three of them online and one in my EQ5.

I think that maybe you could get a clip art deer head to enlarge.

I really like these quilts with silhouette appliques. I must do something like this soon. Thanks for showing.

I made this one for a friend. Never could get a good picture -- colors much less dark than it shows. But it is made up of 1" finished blocks in the middle. I drew the asian bamboo and used fused applique for the black motif.

I did a nativity silhouette, and used a fusible web. Then I used my free-motion (and straight stitch) to sew the edges down.

I just wanted to say "WOW" on all who posted their tops on here!
