Enjoying this so much
... I needed some 'Just Because' creative time with no deadlines, no rules
... no pattern even!
Once my pieces were fused down, I began to work on my raw edge applique flowers. And many thanks to Tania @mrsmagillaquilts for all the advice. I used black thread, a straight stitch set to 2.0 and stitched 2 times around each shape. Random stitching for that whimsical design look!
It's a super simple way to applique edges, and there's a couple of bonuses to this method too, like no need to change threads throughout the stitching plus it's a great choice if you are going to be photographing your projects. I'm guessing any fraying simply adds to the overall whimsy vibe.
Looking forward to the next prompt.

yes I think fraying is supposed to add to the effect - it is looking good
That is similar to the way I would be doing applique if I attempted it again.
Love these adorable flowers; the black outline stitching is just super with those vibrant fabrics..Nice work!! Hugs, Julierose
I can see how much you are enjoying this just form the final product. Gorgeous!
I love it. I so wish I had made mine bigger. You’ve inspired me!
I am loving these flowers. I can see lots of them in a quilt. Lovely work.
