I can post how to do this, you cut out the back as Lesley did and take out the paper template at that time if you need photos I will make another block and show you all how.
Elle, I love your colors! This will be one gorgeous quilt. And I agree, although the gold is pretty, it is not adding much to the yellow background, I think something with more contrast might pop up nicer. Hmmm...maybe I should do a yellow background.....
