Do you remember
Pretty in Pink? I also made a quilt for her sister who wanted her favorite nightgown included. It was very faded and worn so I cut it into hearts, put pink fabric behind and scattered them across the surface. Names of family members and favorite pets were machine stitched onto some of the hearts.

| Nightgown hearts near pieced & appliquéd block |
This t-shirt block required the most applique... and the most effort to keep the quilt flat. I think racing the car out of the block looks pretty good, though. I pieced two and a half sides and left "flaps" that I pulled through to the front and machine appliquéd onto the sashing. See P
art Piece/Part Applique for a short tutorial on this method (although a smaller flap would be easier the first few times.)
Fret not; enjoy the day.
