Applique in April

Adventurous Applique in April

This little quilt was in Quilts and More, spring 2014, and has been on my 'to do' list for a while. It's just so cute and springy!   When I saw the April Island Batik challenge for us Ambassadors was applique, I knew it was time.  I had the perfect spring batiks from Island Batiks Dotalicious line.

The quilting was done before the applique. This just makes it so easy to do the background quilting without having to go around the applique pieces. Plus you don't have to add any stabilizer to applique process then.  Since batik's don't ravel like regular fabrics I didn't use a fusible, however, I used Elmer's glue on the edge and ironed them onto my background.

 Embellishments can add a bit of fun flare to the wall hanging.

The jagged stitching is an applique stitch on my Janome 7700. It makes a great edging on leaves.

My door was looking kinda bare so I made this into a door quilt. Little pockets were stitched onto the back to hold magnets as my door is steel.

Once again thank you Island Batik for making such gorgeous fabrics for us all to play with and Aurifil for my piecing thread and Superior Threads for my quilting thread.
