The background is a playground: Machine quilting a wool appliquéd quilt

One way, out of a multitude of ways, to quilt wool appliqué is to treat the background of the blocks as one background, breaking it up with butterflies, flowers and a couple of other motifs before quilting a backfill of circles, arcs, echoing and swirls. Of course, I quilted the frame, adding minimal quilting to the wool and quilting pairs of lines in the border.
