Although I have been quilting for 10 years I rarely if ever do applique. I did a snowman on one of the kids stocking this past Christmas. I made one of our boys an Army quilt a couple months ago and the pattern I picked made it very busy although our son loves it. I decided to calm it before I sandwich and quilt it by putting solid color appliques of army men on it. So went online found wonderful site that had Army men coloring pages that look like the little plastic ones, just what I wanted! I tried it out this morning and major fail! I was not doing raw edge applique is that my only option when your applique has holes in the middle? http://www.coloring-pages-book-for-k...ring-page.html

I attached the link to the pages so you can see what I'm talking about about the holes in the middle of the pictures. Or should I just use the ones that I can make not have holes. Just by taking out the bottom stand between the legs.....I really hope I'm making sense!! Sorry for the long post!
