Applique?

Good Grief!
I know I have always said that I never wanted to do any applique,
but I think that is exactly what I need to do for this quilt.
The plan keeps changing.

I found a site here that will translate your name 
into Japanese characters.
So, I've decided to try and put my daughter's name
on one of the blocks.
And I have found shapes I want to applique
in some of the blocks.

It is much easier to have a quilt pattern and cut
out a number of strips and squares,
follow the directions, etc.,
and sew them up and, bingo,
you have a quilt top.

Instead, for some reason I would rather
go through this process
of indecision and inspiration.
Oh well, that's just me.

It warmed up 10 degrees or so today.
Much better!
