I did the whole cloth one and loved it- I traced around the flowers and then meandered in the solid areas. It gave me a lot of confidence. I used a pretty sheet, with another sheet on the back, and just appliqued the little framed dog on it. Give it a shot.
I am getting readyfor the Paducah show, taking classes and in a couple of them I need a quilt top, so been sewing on a Mariner's Compass to finish that off. I am also behind schedule on an art quilt. I need to get that done, I am holding the whole group up. I am quiting that now on my domestic machine. It is almost all sky and I am quilitng in meanering feathers to represent clouds. I hope to have that one done in a couple of days.
