I have to go help install a show at a gallery, and then I hope to finish the quilting on a UFO.

I am so glad you posted about this - I had one sewn through the block stage and forgotten about it in our move. Or rather, I thought I'd finished the top and was going to take it when I go to pick up my new-to-me longarm in a couple of weeks. Better to find out now rather than the night before that I need to finish assembling the top and find/cut a backing!

For the the appliques in the colored areas you could echo around them at quarter inch intervals or do a combination of echoing and then background fill. That would be fairly easy to do and would get you some practice in managing spaces and a start on doing some quilted motifs in your negative spaces.

Rob

think your suggestions were spot on! The animals are panels not Applique but I get your point. I tried to trace them but with the 3 layers it wasn't happening.

Here's the.part where it get lol wierd. I brought the quilt to work today and when nobody was around...I it! Thats right- I put that sucker right on the glass and hit the big green button. Problem solving baby!
