Floral Applique - Border test

Worked up a little test for my border idea -

Prepped a leaf and some test border fabric -

I want the border to change color at the stem -
But I don’t want to have to pin and sew LONG curved seams -

Pinned the stem -

Stitched it down - both sides -

Took a look from the back -

Trimmed away the dark gray on the back -

And the light gray on the front -

Hmmmmm -

Well - THAT didn’t work - ;))

Maybe just stitch down the one side -

And then trim? - ;))

Oh, well -

Don’t worry -

I have a couple of more ideas -

AND -

I am always open to suggestions -

So stay tuned - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
