I would re-center the dog, either by moving the applique or ripping the stitching out and adding more fabric on to the edge of the block, and just have the seam line be the stitching line for where the white background meets the green print. Does that make sense? I kinda feel that I'm not explaining what's in my head very clearly.

Have you considered using smaller corner pieces? That way, you'd still have your snowball block without having to move any of the applique.

I should have explain more or referred you to my first thread.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...e-t247275.html

This applique block matches a 9 patch block so the snowball have to match the 2" finished size. It is a block donation and the block size is 6.5. I really LIKE the fire hydrant idea but I doubt if I can find an applique online in time, I saw so many quilter with hand applique and machine embroidered blocks I tried to come up with something special.

THANKS again for all your advice. I so appreciate it !!

I love your block it's really cute. I would leave it alone but if it really bothers you, do #1.

That little doggie is so adorable and matches the print so perfectly. Great job.

I'd remove the corners and add more white around it to get it centered correctly.
