Baltimore Applique

Today I have been learning how to do Baltimore Applique which usually involves some dimensional work.  This will fit nicely with a later quilting arts session when we can make some dimensional flowers to incorporate into some of our quilting creations.

 

As the name suggests Baltimore Applique emerged from the USA over a hundred years ago when ladies in Baltimore started to make Baltimore Album Quilts (so called because the quilting blocks reminded them of photo albums with different pictures on each page).

 

No photos yet as I am still at the stage of making templates from freezer paper and sorting out fabric colours.  But it's really interesting and I hope to get some photos on here in the next few days.
