For those of you interested in such things, I use a blanket stitch on my machine for the appliqué. That's a stitch one to the side and one stitch forward. I mirror imaged it and did all the appliqué of the inside if these circles, then I did the outer edge without the mirror imaging.All that's left now is to add another blue spot border and remove the freezer paper before pinning on Thursday.
It's beautiful! Looking forward to seeing the entire quilt. =(^_^)=
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see this when it is completely done. I am so glad that you kept us up to date with all the work you have done.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was fast! It looks great!
ReplyDeletebeautiful Sally! Can't wait to see it all quilted up!
ReplyDeleteYou anticipated my question. Figured you couldn't possibly be hand appliqueing all those, especially after we convinced you to add a second circle! VBG
ReplyDeleteI too was wondering if you machine or hand appliqued. Must be difficult to turn such a large piece for machine applique. If you have any secrets, please share.
ReplyDeleteI also can't wait to see how you quilt it, Sally. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSally, could you post a close-up shot of your machine applique? I'd like to see it, and I wonder how you are able to control the stitches on small bits like those circles with the machine.
ReplyDeleteI *love* your feathered star quilt, Sally! Long time no see -- I happened upon your blog from another one I sometimes read. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge task! It's looking wonderful.
