I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

Originally posted by SueGee View PostSo after many starts and rejects, I finally decided on a border. Applique just did not look right with the neck ties. It is now quilted and ready for the label which will read "Ties that Bind" . Need to work on the rest of the wording.

I finally got all my flowers, leaves, and dots done! I had never done finished edge applique, and decided this was the time!! I bought Rosa Rojas' Appliquick Rods awhile back, but never got up my nerve to try them. I started to try finished edge on the Birdhouse Quilt, but went back to raw edge. So, I turned on some old episodes of "The Waltons" and got to work! Alex was right, it really was relaxing and a lot of FUN!!! Thanks again Alex, for yet another quilter's tool in my quilter's toolbelt.

I might have put a white block in the 3 corners and made the flowers go more into the white block and trail the vines into the flowers and not go around the corners. I am always just trying to
think of ways to adapt peoples great ideas. Great way to make it your own. HelenWLast edited by Helen W.; 06-20-2021, 06:47 AM.

I intentionally overlapped Dragonfly wings on a wall hanging and it turned out great. I used flower wire on the inside of the backing
of black fabric so they would not droop over time due to gravity. HelenW

Do you have the bottom and right side attached to the quilt top already, It is rather hard, or should I say fiddly, to put the border on if you don't do sides first, and then top and bottom. You have a 90 angle to deal with. I would have done the vines and run them
on just one border and started a almost matching spot on the other border for alignment. Then when the borders are all on put a flower leaf or circle over the place where the break in the vine is located. Just leaving the applique that needs to make it look like continuous flow until the whole top is on, then attach those pieces. HelenW
