WOWZA! Did I count 12 different fairy frost fabrics in the compass? Plus the black background, plus the applique. Your skill and dedication to quilting are admirable.

Losie, Sorry I forgot to answer your question - it's all by machine!

Thanks to all of you for your compliments. I really had fun with this quilt - made it back in 2007, I think. The pieces are rather large, so it goes very fast. I put fusible on the back of the border fabric & cut out the flowers for the corners. Didn't have much left, so there wasn't enough for all 4 corners to be alike, so it's 2 & 2. Then I took black thread & stitched around everything. I had left the tiniest margin of black on the cut-outs so I could do this. Originally had a wider coral inner border & fewer flowers in the corners. When I took it apart to reduce the coral border, I added more flowers & leaves, etc. to the corners. That's when I discovered you can heat the fusible, lift it up and put something under it, then iron it back down.
