You know...that may not be a bad idea at all! At first I wasn't too keen with the idea of adding "more" to the quilt...it is pretty busy after all! But if I use a few scattered fussy cut flowers here and there...I think it would be okay...in this case the "busyness" kind of hides the additions! And by using the printed flowers...makes it much less intimidating to think about appliqueing something since I've not done applique before. This would be a first!
