This was from a pattern I bought on a trip to NYC in early Oct. It's going to be a gift for our host and hostess who kindly let us stay with them on our trip.
The sunset background, water, and borders are all pieced. Then the buildings, lettering and apple are raw edge, fused applique.
It's not quite finished. I need to stitch the hanging pocket down on the back and add a label. I also need to add some very fine detail to the Chrysler Building (the tall green building) and the Statue of Liberty. Once I get it completed finished, I'll post some better pictures.
In the meantime, you can see a bit of the raw-edge applique in the picture above. I love how the Guggenheim turned out. This was such a fun quilt. The pattern is from Zebra Patterns, and she has some for other cities/states. The cutting and fusing takes a long time, but once that part is done, it goes together very quickly.
