I don't think I will attempt the appliqué though - a little out of my reach.
Thank you for posting pictures - I'd love to see your finished quilt!
Glad to see you are still proceeding with your quilt. I found the piecing to be pretty easy. What was difficult was keeping track of the fabrics. I know I had at least one combination that was totally unplanned, but looked okay, so I kept it. I used a million post-notes and even an excel spreadsheet.
