I love applique so much and I have been playing around with some ideas for fabrics but I have a question???
Would you buy it??? I thought I’d take a mini poll and find out from my peeps if this is a direction I should pursue ? I won’t go hog wild just a couple of intros but it be good to have a feel from my guys and gals out there who are always in and out of the quilt stores! I want it to look rather random and appliqued to the fabric. Don’t worry I’m strong and I can take criticism just do it in a gentle way ok??? Oh and yes a lovely gal from California won the second part to my bumbled raffle and her name is Anita Monery no blog but e-mail her and Congratulate her! Don’t worry even the late comers were entered so never fear!!! I am always so grateful to you guys for your dedication to this blog it makes me so happy!!
Interesting idea…would like to see a few more. I love applique…but don’t like everything so perfect and planned like some applique pieces appear. This looks like it could have some possibilities.
I love applique and would love to learn more to perfect my technique. I would encourage you to pursue it further!
I love applique and I think that it would definitely be worth pursuing.
It would be fun to use them on some of the clothing we design.
Oh yes, I would buy it. Congrats to Anita. Thank you again Jennifer for being so generous with us. Clarice
Heck yeah! love it, suzy
I would totally buy it! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Yes, I think this is an area you could develop! Have a great week!
Oooh! I love that! And I love applique work! I first started with applique onto quilts, pillows, and other home decor. Then I’ve done it on children’s clothing, too. It adds such a new look to items. Definitely go for it!

I’m picturing the fabric above being a dress for my daughter. I would buy it for clothes, but maybe not pillows, curtians, ect… Actually it would probably do me some good to make a pillow or two out of it. =) A bit of random decor sure wouldn’t hurt.
I am a little confused is the bird an applique on a quit or fabric? Would you want to sell the appliques separately? Sorry maybe its just me, but I am not sure what the bird is supposed to be on.
Personally I only like them on tea towels and linens and children’s clothes. I used to design children’s clothes in NYC in the early 90’s and we did lots and lots of appliques!! I believe they still use them allot to embellish pockets, shirts etc. how about a cute baby t with the bird on it?? NUdge Nudge hint hint !!!
Absolutely would buy it.

Love applique’s but I think it’s a little too busy/jumbly… maybe make the bird solid a more solid fabric/pattern and I’d be all over it.
very cool! I especially love the dimension it adds to the fabric! The different prints add interest and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! Can’t wait to see more of your creations!
It makes me smile- I love the contrast of color and designs
My experience in terms of what is selling during these “squealing pennies” times is that a practical purpose drenched in prettiness is hard to resist. Also, anything that facilitates organization justifies spending. So am I getting rich with these insights? No Way! Probably due to my addiction to quilt shops!
I absolutely love it, especially this color combo-it’s not matchy matchy and I love that.
I love it Jennifer! I really love the contrast of the two fabrics and I love the bird.
Congratulations Anita! A nice gift for a nice person!
Thank you, I can’t wait to dig into that beautiful fabric! I think the proposed fabric on this post is beautiful, as usual.
I’m with the person that doesn’t get it. Are you proposing actual appliques or fabric with an applique look. If it’s the latter I’d be all over it – love that look! Love all your fabric too!!
I like the look of that! Very fresh and fun and a little dramatic.
I like the applique look. I would just do it rather sparsely or it would get really crowded fast. I love the color combination that you’ve got going on, too. I can’t wait to see where you go with this. It looks fabulous so far.
Love it!
~loving this idea~
Very unique!!!!
love it, super cute and fresh.
I too, have been playing with appliques lately. I love your idea of adding appliques to your fabric design. It seems to me to be a natural extension of your previous designs. I would certainly buy it.

You know I like it a lot very much in tune with something I would do. Can’t wait to see more 😉
Simply stunning. Would definately get excited by this fabric. You can never go wrong with a bird!
Oh yes definitely! I would buy it!!! Lovely!
Oh Jennifer, I love it. Yes, I would definitely buy it. BTW, I’m so sad you aren’t going to be teaching at Silver Bella this year. I am finally able to go this year and I won’t get to meet you 🙁
Yes, I would definitely buy it, especially if the applique was bird! cute cute !! LindaSonia
love it! I’d buy it even if it was just to own it haha. I’m always looking for interesting quilt backings too.
L-O-V-E I-T!!!!!
Y.E.S.
I think that is good looking! One piece with “appliqued” silhouettes to tie the whole line together at once. I think it would sell. Love the bird! ~jen~
Love this idea! I love the contrasting prints! I could do solid on print as well, but really LOVE the interest of 2 prints. Love random also.. Has a crafted as opposed to manufactured feel… In the end, go with your gut, it hasn’t let you down yet!
