    whew what a lot of work this one was! I'm so excited though this is my 1st applique quilt and it was alot of fun. I can already tell there will be many more :) I am stressing though about how to quilt it. I might just do some stippling around the applique so I don't have to go through them... some of them are pretty thick! What do you think is that a good idea?

    Beautiful. Another alternative is to echo quilt.

    You beat me to that one, Lesley. That was my thought too. Great minds and all that stuff. :lol:

    If the applique is really thick, I would stipple around the designs. It makes the design really stand out. For me echo quilting is hard, especially with small spaces around your applique designs. Beautiful quilt.

    you did a wonderful job on your quilt very impressive for first time applique. I would echo quilt around the figures, it would make them stand out more. thanks for sharing
