Hi jpthequilter - your written instructions must have been getting to me via the air waves of thoughts because I have been playing all afternoon in such a way as you describe. But I think I will end up with a combination of both piecing and applique. I am quickly learning that I best be for making scenes-buildings bigger because this is just as bad on my fingers as some 6-1/2 appliqued flower blocks I was recently doing. If I get a chance later in evening I will post my church...the steeple is still not right. lol Thanks again.
