April UFO - Hand Applique

Here is my April UFO. It was a Hand Applique Sampler class at a local quilt shop. It really helped me understand the technique of hand-applique. I've had the top completed for awhile but quilted and bound it in April. I used clear thread to quilt around the outside of the applique and then used white thread to quilt the dragonflies in the white space.

I used purple chalk to draw the dragonflies but it's not come out yet. I've tried quilt soap and soaking it but it's only lightened. Next step is OxiClean. If it doesn't come out, it's not the end of the world - this is mine to just keep and display around the house.
