Hi,Okay first im sadden that you only wanted the "ladies"to comment, so either you think men get make rational thoughtful comments(ok that maybe true) or you think men who quilt are "ladies"( just kidding LOL)
It looks good, if i where making it, i would and shadow and shade ,like the other post suggested. And i (meaning if i was doing it,i might sew in some of the words, or a circle,or cross, im not overly religious,but thats what imight do. It doesnt mean thats what you need to do.
It looks nice practice is so true, i should follow your advice
