The Great Comet---1 Applique Shape

 

Quilt from the mid 19th-century

Pieced with no published name

An album, perhaps associated with a wedding.


I'm always looking for applique projects to hand sew at various meetings
and groups. Here's a shape you could easily prep and take along.


If you liked applique.

After drawing it in EQ8 I realized that the single appliqued shape will fit into the 5" squares we package as Charm Packs, so this would make an easy to take along applique project.

I will think about that.
