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!!!
At last, Kim's Mariners Compass Medallion pattern is ready. It is a beauty. It will test your skills at applique, paper piecing, English paper piecing and more.
This one is such a departure from the other recent designs. Love the traditional and flower mix. Can't wait to see everyone's progress. So cool Kim!! --- Teresa at thirdfloorquilts.com
Thanks everyone, this is an older quilt that I made over a decade ago and it was sitting in a bag in the corner of my sewing room for at least 10 yrs before I got back to finish handquilting it. It was the last quilt I did in reproduction fabric. If you go to the GloriousColors website, and click on the Mariners Compass quilt, you'll see a fabulous version of it in Kaffe fabrics, I love this brighter version. I have been using the Kaffe fabrics to make hexagons for my current quilt and it has been so much fun demolishing a perfectly great piece of fabric and making holes all over it! K
Absolutely gorgeous!
