Excellent Sue, love your choice of fabrics. Your star corners are so much better than the flowers from the original pattern. I've also got both patterns but totally undecided as regards fabric. May I 'steal' your stars idea?
Of course you may! I pieced the geese - I have no objection to applique - only when it isn't necessary!
I think that it is awesome and you did a great job. Love the color choices as well.
