QuilTena Posies In Plaid - I used the appliqued flowers patterns from Piece O'Cake Plaids n' Stripes book, but changed the sashing/setting. I also used Ricky's piped binding technique...and it turned out great! Posies In Plaid won an Honorable Mention ribbon in the Medium Applique category at my guild's recent quilt show. I felt it needed to be hand quilted since it was hand appliqued, so I ventured in to my first hand quilting since the days I first learned to lap quilt with Georgia Bonesteel! I loved quilting by hand!
