I see how you both think alike. Thanks!
Yes, I have bought the bacground fabric and plan to use for the rest what I have in my stash.
Tonight I'll cut the center background and trace. I haven't taped the printed pages yet so I don't know which pieces should be appliqued first but shouldn't be no problem once it is laid out.
I decided I'll hand applique, needle turn so I can spend sometime in front of the TV with DH.
