What's the worst that could happen? You'll have something to donate to charity when you're done, or find a friend who loves it.

I too, would iron a piece of freezer paper (cut off the seam allowances), to the wrong side of the fabric. Then fold back the sa and press, cafrefully pull off the freezer paper so you don't stretch your fabric.
I say just go for it...no worries, no regrets.

I'm in a Row Robin and a Brown Bag Groups right now, and the challenge of adding onto a block and making a row to go with the previous is a fun challenge.
