I see! You are top-stitching around your silouhettes ... but, the windmill, also???
IMPRESSIVE!
The batik you chose for the little cowgirls' background is delightful (for lack of other adjectives) ... but, I do recognize the cold and winter feeling of it.
Can you imagine it on a sunset/sunrise background?
Your pictures of the process are wonderful, also. I can only imagine how many quilters, new to the process, will be encouraged and inspired by all you are sharing. Good job! <wave>
