Quilt looks great... what do you mean by hole replacement circles?

I'm so excited to get my fabrics so I can start this. When I started quilting I saw a beautiful Baltimore style quilt that our guild ladies did for the opportunity quilt, and I thought "I will NEVER be able to do something like that". But if I do machine applique I should be fine and get through this.

On the first page, right after the fabric photos, there is a download for EQ, click and it will automatically open in EQ. Then save it in the program.

What do we use the brown fat quarter for? is that suppose to be for our vases? I need a bit of help with that one. I was looking at the picture but it's hard to determine (by my tired eyes anyway) if the vase is gold or brown, etc. Can you take a little time out to tell us what the golds and browns were used in?

I'd appreciate it.

I'm trying to figure out what colors for what so I can play with EQ7 since I scanned in my fabric.

I used the golds for the flower centers, the vase, and the tulips.

The Brown, some flower centers, and for instance, in this block you could do the stems for the berries in brown.

That's why I don't use a hoop, the background fabric is too taught, and when you release it, it will pucker.

I do pull my applique stitches tightly into the background, but because the background fabric is loose, it won't pucker.

Machine applique is a good place to start, if you use the clear monofiliment thread, with a small zig-zag, it will look like hand applique.

The other way is to use black buttonhole throught, for a folk art look.

Either way is beautiful, just depends on what you like.
