This blog is dedicated to applique. Glorious applique!!! The focus here will be hand applique, but there is room for machine applique too. Kim McLean is the designer whose patterns and quilts we will be working on together. Are you ready?! Let's SEW!!!
Oh, yeah! I liked the center flower when the two side tops got added, but with the midsection underneath those, it washed out, didn't it? Looks really terrific this way!
VERY pretty! I love the choices and fussy cuts on the other flowers too. I've had a couple of blocks that were Ok..but just didn't feel right to me. I left them for a bit..then went and changed them. It seems like if we aren't comfortable with a fabric it's best to swap it out..or it will bother us?
I agree that this new center flower works better, but I do like the original one too. What is your other choice for the basket? I like this one, but am curious, of course, about a different one.
well in my "life as a quilter" when I look at a block and say, "you know that piece just isn't working" I know I am going to change it, whether it is right then or later. I had a 4 Patch Posey quilt top together once, looked at the row in the middle, had 2 squares that I felt were very similar, took them out of the middle and rearranged the squares, that is how anel I am......thank you all for all your input I love it Paula

ReplyDeleteI didn't mind the other flower but I can see why you did and it does look lovely.
ReplyDeleteWell done! That was a good choice-the new flower is even better. Keep going!

Totally agree with LynnCC. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a sterling job - the new flower was definitely worth the extra work.
