Hibiscus - raw edge applique with thread painting

I recently took a class from Susan Knight and made this sweet hibiscus applique block. 

As usual for a class, I used fabric that I already had, but this time I think it worked well.

Since most of my walls are full, I turned the block into a pillow for the recliner in my living room.

 When I saw this Moda panel, I was quite taken with it.  I ordered it online and was very pleased with it when it came.  

As quilters do, I made finishing it up into a quilt a lot harder than it might have been.  I made four strips of flying geese, in four different sizes to frame it.  At least I had the good sense to put in cornerstones of bluebonnet fabric, rather than the curved flying geese that I first thought of.  

It's a real pretty little quilt.
