But Will it Fly?

Worked on a new (to me) technique of trapping fabric scraps beneath a veneer of sheer tulle for a corner block on one of my Project Linus donation quilts called "Tweet Street". My only (?) mistake, was in my impatience to “get ‘er done”. Had I taken a bit more time with it, the tulle would have been aligned to the edges of the block so that it would  be secured within the eventual quarter inch seam allowance, making for a smoother end presentation. As it was, though, I ended up securing the tulle's misplaced edges with random free motion stitches. The scraps trapped beneath the tulle in this block depict a bird’s nest surrounding the nestlings-to-be, which were drawn directly onto the block using a fabric pen and fabric crayons.  This worked well for my fledgling attempt. Yes. I think this will fly.
Here it is as the corner of the first round border of the quilt still in progress.
