thank you all very much. It is only my third project, 1 march doll quilt, 2 this april doll quilt, and the iris in the corner thingey. I know not a word, but I can't spell any way so I make my own words :D And ladies applaque is very easy, cutting out the little piece is the hardest part. Just go for it. I am learning all kinds of things with the doll quilts. but none of this would be possibale with out the wonderful ladies on the board that have sent me fabric,thread,books, 2 packs of batting, and ink for my printer so I could print things/patterns. God bless all of you. Penny
