Appliqué is more common in recent booms and it makes for some pretty and creative blocks. I got several last round that I love.

The beads would not be good on a bed quilt, only on a wall hanging. I design most of my own quilts and may try to design these blocks but they're going to have to be simple while I work on my skills. It says we can use applique so I may try some of that.
