I was getting a little saucy, thinking the quilt was finally finished because it was in the wash. Turns out, a good washing did some un-sewing. The applique, which was fused and then edged-stitched, came undone in some places. Unfortunately, there's not a reasonable way to un-quilt a quilt...so I had to improvise. I did a zigzag stitch around each of the flowers. The stitching is visible on the back, but I couldn't think of any other alternative.
The quilt looks nice with its binding:
The quilting turned out okay. I centered the quilted stars throughout the quilt...but didn't think to check the placement of the quilting on all three of the flowers.
The good news: The applique is firmly attached now, and I'm waiting for the momma-to-be to get home from work, so I can deliver the quilt!
