My partner really likes the colors blue and orange together. (just like me!) So as luck would have it, I have some Blue and Orange fabric. The quilt is backed in -old- orange Heather Ross fabric.
The applique shapes are all stitched down by machine, but NOT raw-edge appliqued. Every edge is folded under and stitched using a unique "facing" technique. The machine stitching through each shape is ALSO the quilting lines of the project. {{two birds, one stone, you know.}}
I added in "ghost" shapes using grey embroidery floss. The floss is quilted through the three layers, too.
I really like this one. I might have to keep it.
*Fabric used in this project are designed by Jen Eskridge and are for sale over on Spoonflower.com and SOON will be available on the ReannaLily Designs website.

I see that you're doing a tile quilt. I just got the Reinventing Tile Quilts book and I'm working on a small block. I love the effect on your quilt and my block.
Oh, and I love blue and orange together too...
Very cute!
this is pretty cool, haven't seen anything like it before. just followed your link from dqs10. I'd be happy if it were for me!
I'm liking YOUR fabric in there!!!
Awesome--I'd want to keep it, too!
Very cute and love the colours but can you tell me more about the facing tech. I think i was called this. Thans
