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.
Beautiful craftsmanship - by both you and Marlene! The quilt is an heirloom to treasure!
