Great job, thanks! Just remember, fusible ISN'T forever and it will lose it's attachment to the background fabric. I found this out the hard way on my avatar.

After 4 months the edges of my tree and thicket were lifting up from the background. I did quilt over all the fused pieces, just didn't get close enough to the edge and the edge lifted. I had to put my round wall hanging back on my frame and quilt a line down the edges of both sides to hold them down properly.

If you want faux trapunto on your pieces, sew the edges down for your fused piece and leave the rest to puff up. If you don't sew it down at all, you run the risk of having it fall off your piece completely.
