I think you need a sandwich to be able to quilt- just stitching about the design would look pretty, but .....
I don't think I understand your question. :?
The blocks are beautiful, BTW! :lol:
Maybe this will help clarify, I am not sure when you do an applique on a quilt how to quilt the applique.
I did a baby quilt with applique of baby bears in different postions. The quilt was hexagons with the baby bears in the middle of each hexagon. On that quilt I hand quilted in a open leaf stitch around each baby bear then put the quilt together and did in the ditch around each hexagon, (see baby quilt below). I just don't know if I would have been better off putting the whole top together, sandwiching the quilt then hand quilting around the baby bears. I am concerned how the back of the quilt will look if I do the quilting around the applique after I sandwich the quilt.
Thank you for compliments.
