JoAnnHoffman Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I did not outline each applique, I just stippled very close to the edge. I usually don't do stipple or meadering but this quilt just seemed to need it. I usually come up with some other kind of background fill. The stippling gives your eye some place to rest. I placed circle templates in all the open areas and marked with a blue pen. I then connected all the circles with spines. I tried to make the feathers reach as close as I could to the applique.
