Absolutely fabulous!!! Question: What stitch did you use on the edges of the various pieces? On the green leaves it looks like a tiny invisible zz stitch, right? But on many of the other pieces, can't even see any edge stitching? An amazing piece! Congratulations!

Linda, I used a blue water soluble marker on this piece. Any water soluble marker would work since the final step is this applique method is to give it a good soaking anyway.

Polly~You are correct, the edge stitching is done with a small, narrow zig-zag using an invisible thread. When the piece is quilted and then soaked and blocked, the stitching mostly seems to disappear into fabric. All of the applique also has stitch in the ditch quilting around it on the background fabric, as close in to the edges as I could get.
