That is just beautiful. I would do raw edge applique. Those leaves are the perfect touch for that quilt. Great job.

[quote=Lady-T]Needing some input on what everyone thinks would be the best (best looking) method of appliquing these leaves....
satin stitch, blanket stitch, another decorative stitch or
would you do a raw edge applique?
I can't decide. :roll:

Decided on the raw edge applique and sewing a few "veins" in the leaves.
Very time consuming. I have 6 leaves done with 10 more to go!
Then on to the center block....

I sketched some leaves out on paper & picked the one I liked best.
It REALLY helped with the realistic look that I used batiks for the leaves.
