Diggerofdirt said:Ok yall i am totally confused. I have read over these pages and i still dont understand. Some of these pictures look like just patterned eyes with edges. Over the years did it change or am i just not getting it. We have alot of patterned eyes and also own Star of India and Spacecoast Sea Shells and Bella Isabella..

I think what makes it applique is that the transition from throat to eye or the rest of the bloom is jagged and sometimes splotchy. All throats bleed into the rest of the bloom, but applique seems to be when there's an obvious uneven... jaggedness for lack of a better word.

Normal throat, even though there are parts of the throat that bleed way into the eye.


Betty's INNER SPIRIT - definitely applique because you can't miss that jagged transition into the rest of the bloom


I hope you don't mind me borrowing your photo, Betty. It's just the clearest example that I've seen.
