I tried my hand at applique for this design. It is a great way to use up scraps of fabric and I had a few blues and pinks left over from other quilts. The Broderie Anglaise is quite thin so its backed it with pink sheeting fabric. In hindsight, blue would have been more appropriate to recreate a sky scene. But I do like the finished quilt and the addition of yellow is a new colour for me! Again it came from the odd bits of yellow ribbon I had lying around. I used cheats binding tape from the shop, but to be honest its pretty rubbish and not as thick as binding I would have made myself. Its a quilt of experiments and You always learn from experience! I really loved the applique part of the project and I found out how to satin stitch on my machine too! I will definitely use that skill again. It creates a professional finish for sure.
