I think this is easier than needle turn and hold up better than raw edge.

Wow! The detail on this is stunning. I will now give this a try. Have an Auburn quilt in the works for a son and was avoiding the "AU" logo since I didn't think I could applique it. Now, you've changed my thinking and maybe, just maybe, I can. Thanks a bunch!

Welcome from your own city! I just moved to Huntsville in July 2010 so I'm still learning my way around and meeting people. Hopefully we can get a quilting group together locally some time!

Iron on easiest, needle turn is nice but is more time consuming.

Hi, Huntsville. Glad to have you on the board. I'm in Birmingham, AL. I prefer fusible/steam a seam fusing, then needle turn with hand applique blanket stitch. Don't get to quilt as often as I like, but am working on the hand quilting of a French Braid, some bird squares with batik border framing, and have strips cut for my 6 yo GD to start her first quilt on her next visit. Also, my church is Chapter 313 of Prayers & Squares International. Although a small group, we do lap quilts and prayer squares for ill congregation members, etc. It's all about the prayers, nothing special in the quilts.
