I am going to make a lap quilt using the Kiwi sign found in the picture as the pattern. Plansare to applique the Kiwi; the little bird and the ring around it onto white-on-white fabric using a solid blue . the backing will be a blue with white print. my question is how do I make the center of the sign a solid white and outside of the ring white on white. I could applique the blue on solid white then applique that on the white on white and then cut out the center or just leave it. I plan on quilting outside the ring .I want the sign part to kind of stand out. any suggestions would be appreciated
