Yes, changed color to match each piece, then continued with the green for swirls. The vines were stitched four times (out, back, out, then back)

I love it, cizzors!! LOL

It is beautiful and looks so easy. I also went to the site you had posted. Question- is this washable- such as to use it on a quilt- or will it fray?

Beautiful! Love the colors and pattern, your quilting sets it off perfectly!

I know what you mean. These are tiny applique pieces and I changed to match colors, so I never ran out of bobbin on the applique. The whole piece measures only 16" x 16".

Because the stitches were so close to the raw edges, there is no worry about raveling. I don't know if I would do this method on a full bed-size quilt, but she does have other patterns for larger quilts and they're fantastic!

I love her stuff...I've been following her blog for a while and would love to take a class if she were ever in my area!
