That is very nice. Love the design. Good Lord girl where do you find the time to work on all these quilts? You must have atleast 10 going!

Lovely Pam - IS that machine stitching? It looks as good as hand work.

Beautiful work. I am asking also, IS that Hand stitching or machine stitching about the flowers! Looks great, whatever! :thumbup:

It's machine stitching with my lovely Viking. :) I tried several and the tiny blanket stitch did the best. I turned the speed down though.

I would use the fusible for crafty things and something like this quilt which I will probably give to my granddaughter. I am not especially fond of the flat, ironed-on look. It DOES look like an iron-on patch. I would still do it by hand on most things.

How many do I have going? Ummm... not sure. Most are about done except for a couple need borders, one needs some applique, one needs two more strips sewn on and then decide on a border or not. I live alone... I have lots of time in the evenings.

Very nice Pam, this is going to be pretty.

I have a question, is there a tutorial for how to do a blanket stitch online or the board?
I did it in scouts when I was very young but I don't remember how. I am thinking I might want to do that on at least part of the applique for my sil's quilt.

You did a beautiful job. I LOVE those fabrics!!!

I did a sampler with fusible applique. It's been months, hanging on my design wall because I still have to go back and hand stitch the applique, then borders, quilting and binding. No big rush!!! :lol:

I know what you mean about it still looking like an ironed on design - even with the lightest weight iron on products, they still seem to have a stiffness about them, but the stitching really compliments, and I love the assymetric design of the quilt
