The Letter S

Today I finally finished the applique on my Spring Flowers quilt.


The most fun part was the letter S I put on the vase. When you applique, you usually applique the pieces from the back to the front. It just works out best that way! But this circle and letter S were done the opposite - front to back. I appliqued the S to the circle, and then the circle to the vase. Normally I would applique the circle to the vase first, but doing it this way helped to have the letter S centered much better.




It worked out beautifully doing it that way, and doing it opposite to how I usually would, made it interesting and fun!

Now I get to quilt it and finish it all up. And what do you think the letter S stands for? Spring of course!

  1. Great work! Sometimes it is better/easier to do things in a different way.
