Thank you all so much. Your comments do mean a lot to me. I am so pleased with how this turned out. The more I quilt, the more comfortable I feel. This was a big undertaking for me, but I knew what I wanted it to look like.
I didn't do the applique blocks. I won them at the Silent Auction at the Coburg Quilt Show in 2008. They were a little rough looking, so no one was bidding on them. I got them for $5. Took me a while to figure out what to do with them. I think the fabric choices I made is what sets them off.
Thanks again. You are all awesome. :D :D :D :D
