Thanks for all the feedback! I'm feeling better about the process knowing I didn't just make this fabric work because I want it to!
The tutorial in the archives done by Cutebuns (THANK YOU, CUTEBUNS!! <WAVE>) really makes this intimidating process very doable. I am absolutely a novice, but, she explains this so thoroughly that even I can do it!!
I hope to finish cutting today and auditioning blocks.
More photos as I go along!!
