I vote for applique. I appliqued 80% of this quilt travelling on planes, on a cruise, waiting in Airports and visiting family. I put prepared circles, precut 6 1/2" background squares, small thread snip scissors and a little square of batting to hold my needles and pins along with three spools of silk thread (a light, medium and dark) in a quart size ziplock bag and slid it into my carry on tote.
