PS: because I was asked, I posted three more pictures, close-ups of Quilting. This is just how I did it, and I am not very good. I scrutinized the pix of the patterns and tried to duplicate best I could. Took me a few blocks to realize I could do the sky and the hills all together in one row. I stitched other places in the ditch and echoed or simply highlighted other parts. Buttons made it challenging, but I did not want to sit and sew all those buttons on after Quilting. I used silver magnifico thread by superior. This is just how I did mine. I’m sure others of you will have great ideas of your own.
the applique is easy peasy, just tracing and arranging these pieces then sewing them down.... the little blocks aren't hard but they took me 3 hours each to do LOL but I am loving the process, I think you will too ❤ just don't think of it as eating the whole elephant, just a piece at a time
