A while back, I had written about the quilt commission I had for a tree of life, where I planned to use Rose Hughes’s Fast Piece Applique technique. In that time, though, I realized that I had envisioned it as a *really* raw edge applique, to be completed on my longarm rather than on my domestic machine. This would cut down on the cost for my customer, which was a bonus, and I would get to play with lots of fun quilting. Instead of sewing the applique pieces together first, I used a very thin line of glue to keep them together (like the Sharon Schamber method for binding I used last week), and then built the tree.
Things are really moving along! All my fabric has arrived, finally, and I hope to get this up and on the frame by the end of the week.
Wow! I’m so impressed with your technique. It’s like water color. Fabulous and beautiful.
Thank you! I loved making this quilt, and have plans to keep experimenting with this technique to see what else I can do with it.
