Finished Applique Quilt
I finally finished my first ever quilt/applique wall hanging! I just loved the way it turned out. It is rather large, though, 60x45, and now hangs in my bedroom instead of the the bathroom as originally planned.
I posted a question to the Board back in December about quilting the pieced background before or after I did the applique. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...t-t258987.html
I decided to quilt it first which seems to have help keep it square. The next time I do something like this, I'll just do some basting to hold the quilt in place, then quilt after the applique. With quilting first, I lost some of the height of the batting, so the flowers are 'puffy'!
Thanks for letting me share!
