    Wow, that's so cute. Tried to get to the site but can't access it. Keep getting "error"... oh well!

    Delete everything after the word gallery in your search engine. Worked for me.

    That's what I would do too, not too much, just something to balance it out.

    Thanks everyone for all your suggestions!

    Well, this is what I went with.
    I thought the snail looked ok when I laid it in place and stepped back but now that I've already fused it on and hung it up and looked,
    I'm not too sure - - but guess it stays now!

    Now comes the "fun" part :roll: of stitching everything down.
    I think I'm going to use the blanket stitch

    A wee snail or ladybug on the leaf net to the pink flower.

    What a charming quilt. Love the bird.

    I love your applique, it is perfect and can be left as is. But, here's a thought. The bird is on the ground with the flowers, but ready to go home to the nest. Add leaves and/or a branch in the upper right corner-not a lot-just a suggestion. Lay real leaves down to see about placement.
    Oh, I didn't read far enough to see that you had proceeded. I don't care for the upside down flower, sorry.
