Something different

These quilts were made by Jude Hill. She has her own blog on spiritcloth.typepad.com.
I really like them for the big stitches and also how you can make something beautiful come together out of chaos. This first picture was given the name "The warmth of many stitches"
There couldn't be a more perfect name for it!!

Nice idea, to use reverse applique. Never done this myself, but it seems to work.

Here is a detail of the stitches. Nice combination of straight patchwork and fairly rough quilting.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so it's really refreshing and worth a try to do some applique and quilting in this way. Meaning. letting the adges fray and putting roughly shaped fabric on it.
