This is an adorable quilt. Someone will be able to quilt it by freehand. Please show it again.

could you remove the poppy(organza), have it quilted and then put the poppies back together?

I don't think that would work because the stems are silk cordiing to.I am just going to have to bite the bullet,get out of my comfort zone and hand quilt it,I need to try different things,you know push my bounderies

Love it. Can you remove the poppies, let her quilt it and then put them back on again?

I don't think I am that good to do a tute,,I just cut my ribbon,hand stitched around the bottom and pulled it tight to gather,I had to hem my joints because of the organza,I tried different lenghts of ribbon till I was happy with the look.When I find the magazine I will email you where to find it at,Sorry
