Applique Coneflower Wallhanging
This is my project for Annies Vision – challenge 3 of Project Quilting. I thought the snow on the deck was kind of neat. This piece is 13 x 18 and I call it Coneflower Happiness.
Applique Coneflower Wallhanging
We were to go to Annie Young Arts and get inspiration from her beautiful work. The minute I saw her Coneflowers I know that was what I wanted to create.
I have several boxes of flower pieces that I have either cut by hand or with one of my cutters. The flowers were actually a daisy petal die for my Sizzix Big Shot. That gave me a start and I also had leaves cut….some I just re-cut to the size I wanted. I used batiks for everything. The yellow centers started out as circles.
Here you can see the piece before it was appliqued. This isn’t a true Coneflower plant…..I took a few “artistic” liberties with it.
Of course I did all free motion applique on my 15-91 Singer.
I used a brown thread on top of the yellow center of the flowers.
Of course I had to share the back with you……I could probably paint it and have a reversible piece!
Does it look like I’ve been busy with flowers???? More to come! I finished quilting the Nyan Cat quilt and should be putting the binding on it today…..yippee!
Your quilt is just BEAUTIFUL, I love it!!!!! All the detail that you have done with the free motion is perfect. You did a fantastic work!!!!! Thanks for sharing.

That is absolutely amaze-balls! Love that quilting!
It is beautiful. All the detail in the flowers. Well thought out.
Your coneflowers are lovely! Whoop whoop!!
So pretty!! OK – the cool zig-zags sewing the petals down are fmq, too? And was that all done as sewing-and-quilting-in-one?
Beautiful quilting on your flower quilts!
Gorgeous! I love it!
Beautiful…I love cone flowers. Really nice FMQ.
Oh!! I love these flowers! I want to copy you and make some for pure skill building. 🙂 Also a quick thanks for answering about the batting so quickly. I got so lucky and the batting is on sale here AND I had a 20% coupon at JoAnns. I have a huge roll leaning in a corner of my sewing room now, and only another quilter could understand my joy when I look at it. 🙂
I love the coneflowers! I can't wait to try your method of using the dowel in the pockets on the back! Beautiful work Connie!
Coneflower Happiness is GORGEOUS! Love it. I don't know how you do it – each flowered WH in this series is just stunning!
Thanks for the info about the batting.
Connie–I love the cone flower hanging.. it's just beautiful! and you have to love that Joann Fabric coupon – I bought about 6 yards of W&N recently at 50% off too.. Thanks for sharing such great info and beautiful projects.
