Look forward to more input, thanks so much.
Ever thought of a ladybug in 3D?

lol actually... it was in a toy sent to my 5 yr old lol... she loved the toy, but was a bit old to enjoy the crinkle (you know long distant relatives send things at times without realizing a kid isnt a baby anymore lol) she didnt want it in there, so i took it out, and decided it might come in handy :D
the 1 in the picture was my second attempt to make it... the first was pitiful, lol.
when i held up the finished top, i found i had to pin the loose wing down to take a picture or it flaps loose. lol i have 1 section left to hand quilt and them binding, then im done and sending it off to Texas :D
