Several of you have asked what I did to make the squares "pop". I used a very low loft batting, but not warm and natural...that's a tiny bit too low...I then proceeded to quilt between the squares and rectangles...which make them appear to pop! I will take and post a couple more pictures to see if it's easier with pics.

Here are pictures of the back and a closeup of the front, to give you a better understanding of what I did. Thank you all for you kind words and encouragement!

Thanks for the pictures. Do you think the edges of the applique will hold up well in the washing machine? I think I'm going to give this one a try!!

It is so amazing how all your line meet up on the back. Not mines. I guess I need more practice.

Doesn't using up small scraps of fabric on minis make you feel GREAT?!?! Love the balancing act of the second quilt, but BOTH are beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!
