Ditto--cute, cute, cute!! I love them all. These birds are really cute and I love your touch with the kitty! Have you thought about little tiny buttons or seed beads for door knobs? Just a thought....

Melissa, I just discovered this thread. Your blocks are fabulous!! I just love the quilt pattern. It makes me wish I could do applique, but this pattern would probably be too difficult for a beginner. :(

I saw your dresden plate machine applique and I would not call you a beginner.
