Marion--I do like the background on your applique flowers in the 2nd picture, I think Feline's suggestions are good too. Several of the national LA quilters also do a small swirl, echoed and then some smaller pebbling around it--nice for applique. I think the fill in the first picture above the center is too big of a design compared to the others. I'll try to send a picture of a whole cloth that I did trying to use many different fills.[ATTACH=CONFIG]605423[/ATTACH] not a great picture (bad lighting) but I did use a bunch of different fills!
