Thank you all so much for the kind words and ideas for the appliques! I will play around with one of the blocks and see how they look with a bit of an outline or minimal stitching to hold the designs down just a bit. I love them the way they are also, but some of the pieces are pretty large and do have some wave to them so they might benefit from some minimal stitching. I am hoping to finish it up over Thanksgiving! Only two blocks and the borders to go! Thank you all!!
