I'm not a fast appliquer, some people speed along and finish their projects fast. Not me, I applique slowly but eventually the applique is finished.
This week I managed to get 2 flowers and 4 other parts accomplished.
I also appliqued some circles in place. The circles are lightly stuffed with batting to give some dimension. They'll be ditched in the ditch around the outside not stitched inside where the batting is.
The blue fabric that was used for the things sticking out the bottom of the large bottom flower is a different fabric from the partial flowers. They look the same in the picture but you can definitely tell a difference in real life.
I'm using blue fabrics I have in the stash, no special fabric collections here here!
The pattern for Lady Jane is found here.

Another gorgeous hand appliqued quilt in the making! I am in love with that blue, floral print for the flowers; it is beautiful.
I think your applique is lovely! Keep it up :) Kathi
Great progress with the applique and it looks fantastic, Gretchen. Well done using your stash.
Happy stitching!
Your applique is beautiful. I like those small stuffed circles. Enjoy your stitching.
take your time and enjoy it - I will start my next applique block for my project in August - it was taking a month off from it.
Your project is so beautiful. It's great to see your progress and I hope you are enjoying the process!
Dear Gretchen,
Applique is a slow process, so to enjoy the journey. I love that you take your time and those blues ar absolutely gorgeous. Have a fantastic week.
Very beautiful! I'm getting better at curves, but points are very challenging for me.
You are doing a lovely job!
It's a very intricate appliqué so I think it would be a long term project!
This blue block is really coming along nicely. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
This is so beautiful Gretchen. I love to needleturn applique ; it is relaxing and fun. Love how you have stuffed the circles. I am looking forward to seeing it completed. happy quilting.
Your applique work is so pretty and creative. I've never heard of adding a bit of batting for depth. What a fabulous idea!
This will be very elegant! I like the dimension you’ve added on the circles.
Slow but sure, as the tortoise replied in the race with the hare. And the tortoise won. You too will win this race, which isn't a race at all.
Such a beautiful project. I've been admiring all the applique projects I'm seeing in my feed.
I love your stuffed berries, Gretchen! Lovely variety of blues here from your stash.
These fabrics look terrific together. And I think your applique progresses at a nice pace!
Beautiful appliqué, and pretty blue fabrics!
