Gorgeous!

This is probably one of my favorites. I just love purple!

I guess my favorite is this one, made last year for my daughter. It's really hard to pick a favorite... it's like trying to pick a favorite child! They're all my favorite in their own way.

These are such beautiful quilts. So many talented quilters on here.

I Think ALL Of These Quilts here are Beautiful. Congrats to all of you for your Beautiful works of Art.

My scrappy Dresden Plate --- pieced by hand -- machine quilted. It was my attempt at reduce my scrap pile! HAH! :mrgreen:

Of course I will share my applique technique. I call it Jig-saw puzzle applique and it's based on the Carol Armstrong method shown in her book, Wild Birds: Designs for Applique & Quilting.

1. I draw the picture I want to applique twice on freezer paper. I number the pieces in the picture and note how I can layer the pieces. One picture gets cut into individual pieces and the other picture is the model to follow the puzzle.
2. Iron the cut out pieces of freezer paper on the right side of fabric I will use for each piece. Trim each edge that will be tucked under about 1/8 inch from the edge of paper.Leave edges that will be covered with another piece longer.
3. Fold under and fabric glue the edges that will be finished edges. Some of the pieces will overlap others to make the picture.
4. Pin the pieces together and hand stitch with whatever color the top piece will be.

Okay, I'm not perfect explaining without pictures. Is there a way to make an attachment on this site? I'd be happy to make a tutorial and attach it.

This is mine so far - maybe. It is the one I made for my granddaughter and the first one I quilted on my longarm.

This is beautiful and hand quilted too! Wow!
