Welcome to the forum, Melynda! Your project can probably be done either way, but would depend partly on the technique you are planning to use for your appliqué. If you are going to do hand applique, you will want to do that part before you quilt it. If you will be doing machine appliqué, it would probably be easier if you do that first. If you are going to fuse it, either way will work. Hope that helps!

Melynda OFFLINE Posts: 3	I am making a table runner out of random strips and plan to applique four leaves on top. My question is should I completely quilt the runner and then do the applique or should the applique be applied first and then quilt around it? Thanks Melynda
