Wannaquilt, just go for it, start with a simple shape and you will be pleasantly surprised how easy it is this way! :)

Thanks again for your lovely comments everyone! :D

Izy, beautiful work , lovely quilts.
I feel god made lace and appliques too to cover our mistakes. I told my son when he first started going to quilt shows with me that if it has an applique in a quirky place, there might be a mistake, coz that's how I fix all mine, and it really adds beauty to the quilt. love how you handled those waves!!!!!

beautiful work Izy as usual. someday i shall learn lol

Going to have to try your method!!!!
