Here is a sneak peak at Mona's quilt. Bugarroo went 3" and 9" on her sides, and I'm doing the same (opposite) with mine, I think it's going to look really neat!. Bugaroo, you'll notice I moved one of your squirrels a bit so it could be climbing up the tree. I'll be putting a bit of a hump of grass for the second squirrel to be sitting on. I sure do love those squirrels!
I've got the narrow tree and the wider top branches figured out, so now i need to do the narrow (grass) bottom and the other wide side that will have another smaller tree/shrub. Once the applique is done, then the fun starts with adding the embroidery!
When it's done, it will measure 54.5" square - that is one advantage to embroidery/applique - I start big and trim down to exact size and no worry if the pieces are going to fit correctly
BTW - the blue "sky" is very pale, on my monitor it looks a lot more blue than it does for real.
