Beautiful quilt I so admire you who do such beautiful hand work. My DM made a lot of appliqued quilts by hand all so pretty.

I am really getting into turned under applique (not raw edge fused) and like to explore all my options.

the 12" blocks around the center are applique blocks from the 'backyard gathering' wool quilt I made (pattern called= backyard gathering from Lisa Bongean (primitive gatherings) the borders, centers, ect are 'loosely' based on other appliques I saw in magazines- I just fused fabric, drew vines, flowers, leaves as I needed them. so- to answer your other questions- the appliques are fused, raw edge- stitched down with small blanket stitch- silk threads.

That is beautiful applique work! I love the colors, so colonial. And the sawtooth border too!

Very beautiful quilts but I truly understand when you say you want to go on to something different!

wow its beautiful!!!!!

WOW WOW WOW, they are stunning. 3 months? I am so impressed. Did you also quilt them yourself? Incredibly beautiful work.

Oh wow, what a wonderful quilt and if you made them in 3 months is totally astonishing! Beautiful, wonderful awesome, what more can I say? The quilting is stunning.
