Applique King is a quilt I made based on an antique quilt that was left to me after my mom died. I copied the applique flower and the use of white with warm sashing blocks in my favorite colors. I also added a wide dark colored border. This is the first applique quilt I have done and also the first quilt with white background. This has been one of the most labor intensive quilts I have done. Each flower took about 30 minutes to applique and there are 36 flowers. This, in addition to the sashing and outside borders made this top take about a month to complete. I still plan on actually quilting it and using it on my bed, but that part will have to wait until after the holidays!
The single flowers are a super-sized bud. I love the way the single buds make such a bold statement. I can see myself using the single bud again in another quilt.
