Ladies, those are both good ideas and will work! I will post the pic after Christmas. Right now my brain isn't working very well. I might use a lighter orange and place them "artistically". Haha
I have some cute cats left over from a cat quilt. I haven't dug them out, but they might work too. I just put the package up and started on the other quilt last night.
Thanks for the cool suggestions.
Wishing all the forum people a Joyous Christmas and a Full quilting New Year!.
