Look at the pics offered at the google site.......those appliqués just add to the quilt background and become a focal point....you should go to your library, or check out YouTube, or buy some how to appliqué books to learn that technique....a good thing to know, just in case or as a whole quilt.....jmho

Leave as is... It is BEAUTIFUL... I am thinking, since you said you are a newbie, maybe, just maybe it is the way the fabric was cut originally... bias, width-wise, or length -wise... From my own experience this may be what happened... Truthfully, I have sewn for years... and yet I learn something EVERY time I sew OR quilt... GOD BLESS

I would leave it as is. I have a husband that looks at my "shoebox club" blocks and if he sees that something doesn't exactly meet, he looks at me and says "that doesn't quite meet....can you take it apart and re-do it?" I am usually good at making everything match up but now I try to keep him away from my projects .

I wish the picture was bigger but I like what you did with it! And I agree, I think it's even more interesting than the original design. As Bob Ross used to say, "We don't make mistakes, we just have happy accidents."
