This is Marlene’s Farm Girl Finery quilt and the pattern is in Kim Diehl’s book Simple Appeal. Marlene hand appliqued the wool pieces with a blanket stitch and pieced the top beautifully! I used a beige Invisifil 100wt thread across the top and used Quilters Dream Blend batting. I stitched in the ditch around all the applique pieces and around the stars. Did Continuous Curves in the squares, pebbles in the applique background and feathers around the red star.
