Well, I did it!! Thank you to everyone who helped!! I love you all!! I did what you said and overlapped two pieces gently, then used my rotary cutter to cut a line, then zig-zagged it... worked like a charm!!!
You all made it sound easy... gave me the confidence I needed!!
Now to get to the hand-quilting practice...
practice, practice, practice... I think I've heard that here before!
:-D :-D
