Hi NZ, I'm going to machine applique. I haven't sewed anything down yet. I'm going to do it all as a Quilt-As-You-Go. The little quilt on the fence is birthed. And, last night, I "tied" the little quilt rather then machine quilted it.
My Sunflower incorporation is not going to work. I can't get the sunflowers small enough. I'm going to give it one more try to make them smaller. But, I'm going to have to re-think or re-imagine the block above just a little bit. I don't know with what yet. But, we'll see what happens.
