Yellow PA Dutch Quilt

A couple peole have asked me if I finished this quilt yet so I thought I'd post some pictures while I'm avoiding doing homework. This is as much as I could get done on the quilt by the time it was due for the class. After I graduate in May I plan on adding a few more details to the applique, like on the heart and some of the flowers..I'm probably going to do it with pearle cotton or embroidery floss. This was my first time really doing applique and I did hand sewn needle turn applique on top of a machine pieced quilt top. I thought the applique turned out pretty decent for my first time, but I still need a lot of practice! The quilt top is pieced with 2 1/2 inch squares.

Full quilt...Sorry for the weird angle! I wish I had a huge wall I could photograph/hang my quilts on.

And the backing


I was thinking that maybe the quilt needs something on the upper left corner...something small...Any thoughts on that idea?
