If you are a fan of Deanna Spingola's Strip Pieced Watercolor, you may recognize this one from "More Strip-Pieced Watercolor Magic". It is on page 74 and also on the back cover.Deanna was at a guild meeting where I gave a program and saw my colorwash quilts with raw edge flowers appliqued on them. She called me the next morning to see if I would do a quilt for her upcoming book. When I met with her she requested that I add my raw edge flowers since it would be different than the others in the book.
I applique by machine with the quilt top in a hoop and a loose cut piece of fabric on top. I don't use any fusible because I like little the raised effect of the fabric. I start free motion stitching like pen and ink drawing and add each piece of fabric as I am ready for it.
Here are some close up pictures of the free motion drawing by machine.

Your new header looks great! This is my favorite of your colorwash quilts
Love this quilt. I am in the middle of making a wedding quilt for my niece and still deciding on what sort of embroidery I should do in the white rectangular blocks in the quilt centre.
