Your quilt is gorgeous. I love the way you appliqued the leaves.

The batiks I got from Connecting Threads during their CYber Monday sale!
I got 2 of the Fall Batiks FQ bundles & 2 charm pks
plus the Spring batiks charms and Paradise batik charm pks
(can't wait to do something with these....maybe an Easter project)

Your work was beautiful..........

Thank you.
I think some fabrics just fray a little faster than others (looser weave maybe)
I used the medium weight Heat N Bond

Beautiful. Were the leaves stuck down in some way before you machined them? Your machining is an excellent standard - I think you must be very good friends with your machine.
