LADIES Thank you very, very much for your honest replies (I especially liked the compliments). The animals are material so I could applique them on. They are not an afterthought, it was a beginning thought. My Grandson is 18 years old, he loves to hunt and fish, a real out doors boy. The original idea was to do the rail pattern with the animals in it, but being a novice quilter I thought this would be easier, because they are of different sizes. The ones with the sharp edges have not been turned under yet. My confidence is grown 100 times because I got compliments from professionals on this board o.k. so its grown a little anyways thank you I so enjoy this board, and have learned a lot from it.
