I too would like to see how you machine appliqued them. Everything is so smooth and straight. Beautiful workmanship.

I'll have to take more picture to show the appliqué. I did do raw edge machine stitched with a small zig zag.

I'm currently working on the mirror borders and then I will get the other borders that frame the quilt. Also, I'm doing trapunto and it will be a challenge to complete this as it is getting very heavy to feed through the machine; my arms are getting a work out.

Are you going to give this to your LAer? If so, don't do trapunto. Have them use a double bat. Cotton on the backing side, wool on top, then stitch it. It gives you trapunto without all the headache. Can't wait to see this one finished!

What a stunning quilt. Love the sashing and the effect on the quilt. The colors make each block pop. Fantastic job!
