Birds of Paradise Quilt

This gorgeous appliqué quilt belongs to Lesley.  She completed it in a class with Anthea Bradley. 

Lesley’s appliqué is the highlight of this quilt and we wanted to keep my quilting unobtrusive to make the appliqué shine and pop.  So we chose a simple meander around the appliqué.  

On the plain corners of the border I quilted a simple floral motif in keeping with the appliqué.
