#317 Stitches In Bloom

Techniques included on this quilt are as follows. Use a binder foot attachment NOT to bind the quilt but to use as an accent (block #12) and added trim to a binding edge. Couch rick rack or ribbon for added dimension (blocks #3, #6, #9 & #10). The button foot attaches the buttons easily (blocks #4 & #10). Add a decorative stitch to the edge of a block for extra flair (block #4 ). Stitch recipes are another way to add interest to the blocks (#2, #5, #7 & #11). Piping around the blocks creates that little touch of color to make the block pop (blocks #5 & #11).
