I know ahead of time that my circles won't always be circular and my points will take awhile to get down. I also know that the only way I can get better is to practice and this group is a great group to admit to and share both accomplishments as well as failures. I will be posting my failures also. :)
Thanks for the encouragement Bonnie. The reason why I am so scared is because this would be my first attempt at applique and I am just a novice....I really love the results of appliques - they are so rewarding when finished....that I know even if I have not done one YET...hehehehehehe
Should I do this...I would need to dig my fabrics and batik is not in my stash...big haha and uh oh moment there will be....

So just do one block at first or two. DOn't need to do the whole thing if you dind't want to. So don't use batiks if you don't have any in your stash. Applique isn't tooo hard. It looks scarier than it is and there are lots of different techniques to choose from.
