I'm adding some applique to this quilt!
I cut some leaves Free hand
and am adding them
ONE by ONE
on to that curvy vine!
The light border I'm putting them on is
a VERY generous 10" wide.
LOTS of room to play!!!
I pinned them on HERE and there.
I don't think this kind of applique
needs or WANTS a pattern.
Leaves are ALL so individual in REAL life!
See my use of THREE different white/lights??
First there was the muslin pieced with the triangles.
THEN
There was the muslin with sparkly freckles!
A gold sashing.
And then.....
a very light white/gold floral.
THAT, my friends, is what you do
when you have LOTS of fabric
but NOT lots of the SAME fabric!!
:)
I'm almost done with the purple leaves.
I'll switch thread color soon
and work on the greens.
Hey!
I might even get busy and make some BERRIES!!!
I think they'd be VERY happy in this quilt!
Beth, the leaves look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLovely - I love it all! Berries will be a sparkle! Love the pinwheels. Are they all from one varigated fabric? They go so well together.

ReplyDeleteLovely! Quilts with applique and piecing always call my name. Very nice! Toni
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty, Beth!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I love the vines around the edges.
ReplyDeleteA really nice touch with the pieced center. You're ambitious and the pay off will be a very pretty quilt!
