Trying hand Applique

I have never made a whole quilt with hand applique on it.  I grew up doing embroidery, cross stitch, and some applique on my kids clothes.  While on vacation I fell in love with the pattern Quail trail and purchased. I think it was the border and colors more than anything sucked me in.  I didn’t like the size, or background for the applique.  I am making it bigger and the background fabric is 2 different light and 2 med, cream colored fabric.  I will be making them into 10 1/2″ HTS and 10 1/2″ pinwheel blocks.  The applique will be spread out a little and maybe a few other pieces thrown in.  We will see how it turns out.  Also IF I can stay focused.

Wish me luck.
