Thanks everyone!  You all are so kind!  I love how pebbling looks but find that it is cramping may hands up and have to take lots of breaks and have started wearing one of those gloves…also, I am trying to make the pebbles a little bigger…but then they have be the right size next to the appliqué.  I think I need to use some other backgrounds next time.  :)

Hi Cathy,

 

I just chalked a circle (small circle ruler)  in the center of each square using crosshairs to make sure it was centered, then free handed those wreaths trying to fill up each square - truth be known, I was trying to fill them up so I wouldn't have to do another background fill around those too so I echoed around them..and then filled the centers with pebbles to echo the appliqué blocks.  Somewhere I read to try to stick to 2-3 quilt designs per quilt so that it all ties in together.
