Very pretty!

Thanks so much! Wish I could claim to be the designer of this and many others I've done! It's really been fun and quick to put together! The pattern is called "Fanciful flowers" and is in the most recent issue (April 2011) of Quilter's World. I put the cornerstones in the braided border and made the braid go all in one direction.

I will layer it and do simple machine straight-stitch quilting around the shapes, etc. to hold it all together and then - as in the magazine photo, I'll try some hand quilting for swirls, etc.

Hi Kitsie :) Very nice work. I can't see the stitches. Did you use
invisible thread? I need to come and learn applique from you.

Oh, my friend, I am a rank beginner in that much applique! Thinks its my new GQ and a slow speed. Not too hard once you get the hang of it.

They are great. I love that braid. I love so many parts. It is eye candy

Wow... This is such a fun and happy looking quilt. Great job with the colors and the applique!

Very nice job

WOW, that's gorgeous!!!!!!!! I love it, very artistic!! :D:D

Hey who is Mr. GQ???????????????????????? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Rank beginner or not, your applique is beautiful. :thumbup:

Truly an awesome quilt!
