LOL !! my mother pieced a lone star years and years ago-- never read a quilt book in her life- so decided the way to finish it was to applique it onto a sheet........never did complete it into a quilt--many times I have sat down to take it apart and set in the background pieces.......just can't do it. I am sure one day I will sandwich it and finish it as is and treasure it forever because it is a reminder of my late mother. I know this does not help you.....but I felt like sharing :)
