Thank you everyone for your kind comments! Okay, the second one was just finished. I fussy cut small squares and rectangles out and positioned them on a background fabric. It takes a bit of time to figure out what you want to do and how to place them...and then you also have to take into consideration the outer edges, making sure they line up, so for the most part I just found things I wanted to include and cut...but as I placed them on the background I did have to cut to fit some of the pieces. I then used a glue stick to attach them to the fabric and then straight stitched around the edges with monofilament thread. You could do whatever method of applique you wanted to do...I just liked the whimsy of a small raw edge.
