Here are the girls finished. it is actually much more cheerful in real life.
The quilting is an all over sunflower connected by vines with leaves.I am still amazed at the way you can applique shapes down with a zig zag which then fades into the background. I did the ladies with a varigated thread which has shades of tan. In the full photo, you can see that you aren't aware of the stitching at all.
I am not quite sure that this piece might have actually wanted a solid applique stitch, though. It might have helped to give it a more comical feel like cartoons. I think if I did this type of thing again, I would have more contrast between the cows and the background so they would stand out more.
