I love love LOVE the owl quilt! So very cute!
Here is the thing I LOVE about machine appliqué – you can do it however you want! There are no real rules. Everyone likes to do it different – blanket stitch vs. zig-zag vs. sew just inside the appliqué piece, then matching thread vs. different colors (than the fabric), etc… I think that’s the really fun part – you get to decide what will be super cute.
Have FUN, Judy. I’m sure it’s going to be fabulous & amazing! Baby is SURE to love it!
