Absolutely gorgeous!!! I finally finished a Rose of Sharon applique for my mom (wish I had a picture, forgot to do before I sent it out). Glad its done. Really love applique and hand quilting!! You can do it anywhere at any time, block by block. Haven't done a Balitmore yet, but do have all of Elly's books on doing them. Actually, you just gave me an idea. Many years ago I purchased the most gorgeous fabric in Maine to do a quilt for my room (haven't made myself anything yet). Will definitely investigate this idea further. Now I'm excited!!!!!! Going to look through my books! :-)
