    They are beautiful and thanks for sharing your method, which makes perfect sense. I too think the quilting is just wonderful...

    Smart way to do it! I am going to keep that in mind should I ever try an art quilt. Yours are beautiful!

    Wow. You are very smart to have thought that thru, I would imagine your methods could be used for other appliqué pieces.

    Your work is amazing. Thank you for sharing

    Beautiful. I found this out last year. Easier especially a trellis backgrounds as well instead of stop start etc. and you always miss an area.

    Then I added the other leaf fabrics and quilted all the leaf fabrics down. The Spring quilt has the buds coming out and those are done by doing scribble quilting.

    It was so much easier quilting the sky first without the trees fused on than trying to go around the branches with the background quilting. When it was totally quilted, I then cut it down to 17"
    Beautiful. But the spring buds weren't really visble on this computer. Fantastic quilting.
