Oh this reminds me of the William Morris Applique patterns.
How beautiful if I was not up to my neck in a stack of wall hangings for the church and starting the WM patter I might give yours a try. Thanks for sharing Ed.

Thanks, y'all! :)
I think the main thing is knowing when to stop the stitch as you get to the tip to that when you pivot the machine will not swing the stitch out into the background and make a blunt tip on the piece.

Your fabric choices are super....will be another beauty:) Thanks for keeping us in the loop. I esp. like the "background" story of why things are the way they are....makes it an even more interesting quilt.

I have 3 sewing machines and none has the stitch you are using to secure your appliques. Mine have either 2 or 3 forward stitches to every sideways stitch. Can you tell us more about yours?
