WOW! Your work is beautiful. Your experience in garment sewing has translated nicely for you in quilting. I love everything you have posted so far and the Portland Headlight is beautiful as a framed work of art. Maybe for the sofa throw you can do something pieced instead of applique. It seems you really like the applique patterns though. Keep trying with some of these other products, I am sure you will find something right for you.
This thread has been very informative.
