I guess that what I am seeing in my head is a lap quilt that is quilted on diagonal straight lines in both directions with the lines going over the appliques. I think the hardest concept for me, is that there is not always a right or wrong way. But rather, I can decide the way I want it to look when I am done. I'm sure that I will make some incorrect decisions, but I guess that is how I will learn to quilt over time. Again, thanks!
