"Stitch in Thyme" wool applique
#25
Beautiful... a couple of questions...are you going to use this quilt or display it only? if you're using it, did you pre-wash your flannel to take care of the shrinkage? If not, will the quilt be ruined when washed because of the the flannel and wool combo shrinking?
I really love these quilts but am not interested in losing all that stitching if it is going to be ruined....and I love quilts that I can use. Thanks in advance. I've been wondering about these things and haven't found all the answers yet in a single place.

So very beautiful! This past weekend I attended a quilt show in Montrose, Colorado which had wonderful quilts. They had a presentation by some of their members on wool applique. It is so intriguing and I am tempted to give it a try. Your lovely piece just adds to that temptation.
