This morning I completed the applique of Sun Bonnet Sue and added the embroidered bouquet of flowers. Now all the hand work is done, and I just need to finish up the nine patches. I am considering adding a border of flowers of some kind to the top to make a "pillow cover" as my daughter, who saw my progress this week, said Hollis will probably want it as a bed cover for her twin bed. It will be wide enough, but right now it is going to be square, and I need to make it into a rectangle. Sigh, so most likely more applique to do - but then I love to applique.
Very sweet. I know what you're facing, needing to make a quilt that's USEABLE, rather than one that will lay across a table or chair, or hang on the wall. Keep enjoying the appliqué!
