Thank you Shelley. I started out to make a coin quilt, but found I really didn't have enough of the Kissing Booth fabric left so just added the panel to make it wider. But, then thought that it would be too plain so that's when I decided to try applique which actually went better than I thought it would. I didn't want raw edges, so the edges are all turned under, by cutting the (simple) shapes 1/4 inch larger, sewing a running stitch 1/4 inch from edge and using a little plastic template I made, turned the edges under. This was really an experiment for me using wool batting and first time applique. Even the quilting is pretty much an amateur attempt by stitching in the ditch and using the serpentine stitch on my sewing machine. I did learn a lot while doing this little quilt.
