I've revised the applique for the Climbing Jacob's Ladder quilt to suit me. The outside borders is where I'm placing the applique. The applique is only in the center of the border, not full length like the pattern shows.
The first border has been completed. The background is pieced but I'm not showing you the whole strip. The length of the applique is 34". This quilt really needed those red tulips for some contrast.

I think that applique is beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing how it complements your quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely the tulips really make it stand out.
ReplyDeleteI love your tulips... and just having them in the center makes them pop for sure! Will look nice on your brown Jacob's ladder blocks :)

I like that applique - very pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful applique!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty tulips! Looking forward to seeing the whole quilt!
ReplyDeleteI also love the red tulips. Having them only in the center will really make them stand out and be noticed.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful applique, looks for those tulips, all the points and the circular parts are perfect. You are amazing Ghretchen!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I contemplated only doing the corners with applique on my quilt but then decided all or nothing!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the curves and circles... I find that challenging.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your applique! Great work!
ReplyDeleteTulips are always a good choice. It looks very nice.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful applique work. Have a great day!
More lovely applique. I cannot wait to see more of this quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful appliquéd tulips, very delicate.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing and linking up.
Lovely. Know your limits, and do not overdo.
ReplyDeletevery pretty, the birds and tulips. I always love the revisions you make - I'm curious if you're dropping the applique inside the quilt center and moving it to the borders, or keeping the inner applique and adding the centers in the borders?
ReplyDeleteThe applique is on the outside borders. It would have looked lovely running through the blocks but I didn't want to do that much applique. If I make a smaller quilt someday, I might applique the way the pattern says. Thanks for commenting!
