It's faced as Rosemary says
. I sewed on the binding and sewed close to the seam then took it all to the back with lots of pressing
Lois it's a swap I do with an online friend each year she makes felt and I quilt. I'm meeting her for the first time Wednesday, she has lambs
It's raw edge appliqué with the leaves (except 2) printed on some hand dye cotton with metallic paint then cut round leaf shape and bondawebbed on. The stitched branch bunched the fabric so I had to cut a section out
Then just sewed round and quilted
It's 11 3/4" x 8 1/4"
Oh and I used sharpie to draw on the trunk and sewed and quilted it as well.
Thank you for the encouragement
