It is pretty! I haven't done raw edge reverse applique - I know no (?) edges are turned under, but could you explain in a nutshell the process?? Thanks! Ironing board fabric?? No, I don't THINK so! :-)

Oh..thanks for posting this, I'm always admiring it in your avatar. I think it is spectacular!! No ironing board cover look to it at all, so stop saying that...it just looks great!

That is such an awesome quilt, so glad you shared that with us. No way does it look like ironing board material.

I did try this a little earlier, if I messed up somehow, please disreguard.

Thanks for posting this so quickly. This quilt is so beautiful and original. I never heard of raw edge quilting before like this. I will have to look it up. I read your later response on how to do this, how do you keep the edges from fraying?
