    I enjoyed watching your video of your thought process and how you implemented that. Just a thought about your appliqué technique which you seemed to make a little more difficult than it needed to be. Check out Monica Poole’s “scrapplique” technique. I think it would have suited for this project. She is able to do pretty intricate shapes with raw edges. She is Pattern Poole TV in Australia if you want to check it out.

      It’s just a regular flexible tape ruler that I stuck to the frame with clear packing tape. It’s held up just fine for me. The important part to me is that it’s the type that has the zero in the middle.

    • @FlamingLotusDesign
      @FlamingLotusDesign 3 місяці тому

      Thanks for saying hi! I’ve made some small quilts in the past that could be wall hangings, but I rarely set out to do that on purpose. I usually prefer to make functional throw and bed quilts, but maybe if I thought in terms of wall hangings from the beginning, I could use more “fragile” techniques that wouldn’t be suitable for a functional quilt. Thanks for the idea and I’ll give it some more thought!

    • @FlamingLotusDesign
      @FlamingLotusDesign 3 місяці тому

      Thank you, and I appreciate the inspiration. Initially I was thinking to avoid adding more appliqué since yours is lovely, but ultimately I decided to go with what I thought would work best. In hindsight I think it’s good to have appliqué in multiple rows.

    My preferred option is 6a as that just jumped off the screen, I am a purple fan so that is influencing my preferences and I do just personally prefer the symmetry of a square design remaining squared off. It looks fantastic so whatever you choose will be incredible.
