SAL - A vase with flowers-COMPLETED

Just had to get it done and I did it on the same fabric background........












After all thought I used the reverse/wrong side of the same fabric ...... I think I did soften the look, didn't I? I appreciate all dearest blogger friends who gave me advices and responded. Thanks, girls.

As for the whole SAL, I machine quilt around all applique. The backing is just plain white and finished with a ready cut binder. Another pic was the back after machine appliqued before sandwiching. Mine turns out to be a wall hanging, hanged proudly on one wall of my sewing corner.

Well, Sue dear, I have done mine :)........ Thanks for the effort you have showered over the game.

SAL - A vase with flowers-applique-updated

My first update on the SAL with Sue,

All cut and ready to be appliqued on the base fabric...... Up to this stage, I am quite sceptical about the busy background. Just compare when they were placed on white paper (as above) and then onto my grayish base.... Or maybe I have to change to softer base fabric.....

Please, any suggestions.....? :)
