Jillnjo, It's gorgeous!! I love your applique. I can't wait to work on the next round. You've set it up wonderfully for the next round also.
Feel free to send it on whenever you want. I still need to finish the one I'm working on. But, it will push me to get it done and move it on. (Just knowing I have one waiting to be worked on motivates me.) I will keep it safe.
