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

improve what? i think your doing an awesome job! keep it up

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!

I did use a toothpick on the last block, but need more practice with it...
I need to look into Piece of Cake... Hadn't heard of them before
