Would really welcome feedback on how I can improve my work.
These were all done with needle turn technique.

I've done very little hand applique, and what I've done didn't look nearly as pretty as these, so I have no suggestions. I think once you put them in a quilt together the imperfections will fade away.
These are lovely blocks.

i love your flowers! i love applique!
