I am fast becoming addicted to raw edge applique. When I first started quilting (about 8 yrs ago) I hated applique and I was only into machine piecing. The quilts go together so quick. However I have ended up with a mountain of quilts some of which I don't really like any more.
Now I have less time than ever before and you would think that I would have suck to machine piecing due to the speed..no I decided to hand sew and applique....so quilts are very slow to finish these days.
However in the interests of feeling productive I have discovered raw edge applique for pillows. I think I have made five now and this is the sixth one. It is a gift for a friends nephew whose name happens to be Jamie. Here's a sneak peak. I still have to spray baste and sew the edges of the applique and quilt the pillow top.
I have also made some more circles for the Georgetown Turnaround quilt I've been working one. I just loved playing with all the colours to make the large circles. I've now only to pick the colours for the small circles....oh and piece everything together of course.
That is one cute boat - your design? You have SO taken to raw edge applique, and obviously having so much fun!! Looking forward to seeing the Georgetown circles.
