I am not crazy about raw edge applique either but I am working on a quilt (the quilt from hell) right now that I have no choice but to do raw edge applique if I am every going to be able to fix and finish this quilt.

I finished up another block Friday night so thought I'd post it here. I need to add these most recent blocks to my LBB album, too. I have already done the applique for this whole set of 4 blocks so doing the embellishment isn't taking too many evenings to finish them up. Then, when I start the next set of 4 blocks I'll be slower because of all the applique I'll have to do. I do love this quilt and would like to make a big dent in getting it done this summer.
The first picture is the before embellishing one. The second picture is after embellishing. The basket on this one was made by weaving bias tubes and sewing them to the background. I know, I'm a crazy quilting lady.

This thread only bean a couple days ago and I cannot keep up with it already. Thousands of us love to do applique quilts. I for one am humbled by the beautiful quilts and blocks that have been made by so many. Some here are true masters.

Yes, the embellishing does bring the block to life. They look so drab before all the glitz is added.
I've added these to my album if anyone wants to go over to my profile and see those.
