Joy, your quilt is just lovely! Quite an accomplishment.
If you are interested in doing another applique quilt, there is a new Cyber-Sew group forming. The actual sew-along will start in June, so right now we are picking out fabrics & deciding on all the details. The quilt is from the book, "Affairs of the Heart" by Aie Rossman. Below is the link to the main thread. We'd love to have you join us!
