Help! I want to finish up a quilt today to give my baby niece. It's not essential that I finish it today, but I want to, since it was supposed to be for Christmas!

I made a play quilt with simple squares, 2 of each fabric. Two of the squares are plain orange and I
went round and round about what to applique on and just couldn't decide. Now that it's quilted and bound (did it myself), I want to put my niece's first initial in the 2 orange blocks.

Can I applique them on now or would that mess it up? I'm kicking myself for not doing it first, but
that step was intimidating.

If it's not wise to applique at this point, should I get an iron-on and just stitch around the letter by hand?

Suggestions, please!
