Golden Oak Applique
 

This is my first full size applique quilt. It's twin size. I used fusible web to attach the applique and then a blanket stitch to secure. I can see a bit of fray on some of the leaves, so I a bit concerned how it will wear. Each quilt I make I learn something new so I guess if it does fray, the next time I'll use a zig zag stitch. Anyway, I am very happy with this one. Thanks for looking.

I think your quilt and your quilting are both beautiful. I know you have put a lot of work into this and it really looks nice. However, I'm like you , thinking a zig-zag would keep it from fraying. I think when you do the blanket stitch it may be better on a wallhanging that you could wash by hand and even then, it's just too much work for it to fray. I do think your work is exquisite.

You put hrs of work into this and it is beautiful. Hope you have a solution to the fraying.

It is a beautiful quilt!

The fraying is nothing major right now, but of course it's not been washed or used. I'm not upset that this is occurring as the quilt doesn't have a home other than mine. Like I said, a learning experience so if/when I decide to do another applique quilt I will take the appropriate precautions HaHa. Thank you for perspective :-)

Beautiful quilt. I think with any raw edge appliqué you will get a little fraying. Hopefully it will not any more than what you see now.

Wow! That’s a beautiful quilt! Well done.

Your quilt is just beautiful. Lovely color choices.

Beautiful quilt and quilting.
