I just noticed this block in the picture section. Is this the block in question? If so, you could just applique. No needle turn. Edges are already turned. I have not use a stablizer in my dresden quilts. Just appliqued to a sq. of fab. then clipped out the background fab. to make quilting easier. I hand quilt, (or used to!) and you don't want the extra layer of fab. Your block is lovely. Will make a beautiful quilt!
