For Those of You Who Love Applique...

Karen made this amazing applique quilt using the Spring Bouquet pattern from Laundry Basket Quilts. Thimble Pleasures carries the kit and you can check out the finished quilt hanging on the wall.

Spring Bouquet from Laundry Basket Quilts

I used Glide thread from Fil-Tec to stitch-in-the-ditch around the blocks and borders, and to quilt a background fill around all the applique pieces, with echoing in the border. This quilt is just stunning - I'd love to have one of these on my wall!
