sceeter - please do keep us updated and show photos of your progress. I'm in a similar pickle, with an unfinished GFG quilt that I won at a raffle, so I'm definitely going to be curious about how yours is going. :wink:
I was very fortunate to have some of the extra "joining" fabric included with mine. I've never even considered appliqueing it to a background. I love the look of the one pictured.
Don't you wish these quilts could talk???? :!:
