Avery's Quilt: Float 'n Flow with Applique





Step: Appliqueing the baby quilt for a soft floating n flowing touch

The cloth topper for the baby quilt took shape with a few more details with applique.
With the 2 previous appliques in place, I began to note how my eyes would move 
following the wide yellow sash formed when regrouping the cloth pattern.

Once the first 2 applique were placed, 
my next step would be with adding 2 smaller sized appliques.
One yellow ( gingham ) butterfly to top the sash area,
and a small flower to rest between the first 2 appliques. 



With those now all in place an order of flow developed among the pattern 'n themes

The floral & butterfly themes all flow along with the colors.

I began to note how much better my work was flowing and as I kept up on my notes....
