Gorgeous! Question: When you do cross-hatching in the center with the applique, how do you skip over the applique pieces? Do you do a couple of teeny stitches then raise the needle and move the needle to the other side of the applique piece? I ask because I recently did some quilting with applique pieces on the quilt, and kept forgetting to skip the applique piece and had to go back and frog it. Thanks!
