You are the artist. Don't get too carried away with trying to please someone who isn't doing it. Let her make it. That's why I quit making things for others. They have no idea what they are asking. Sorry to preach but it is your work of art.

How about a row of tents at the top? Or a couple tents and a couple of trees?
I blanket stitch the appliques down.You can do that as part of the quilting, but it means a lot of manhandling the quilt to go round the appliques. I don't like to quilt over the appliques, just around them in the blocks. It can be a lot of layers to try and quilt through also sometimes, if you were to try and quilt through them.

Janice I love your quilt. You are doing an awesome job on it.
By the way what is the pattern? I would doing that too.
You've had some really nice advice from everyone. I did notice the add moose and bears which would by my advice. But I'm an animal freak so beings your doing such a swell job on it so far I know whatever you do on it it will turn out great. I hope to see it when you get it done. Your daughter will love it. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
