Oh, Please don't be scared. I'll feel horrid if you don't do this block. If I can do this block you can too.
I used the method Tiffany mentions when I made my first Sue. It's very easy. I usually do a blanket stitch around the raw edge applique pieces by hand. Lately I've tried a few with the sewing machine and it does quite a nice job and does speed up the process. You can make Sue as simple or elaborate as you like.
Another option is to trace Sue and embroider her. I have a whole set of Sues to embroider that I purchased a few years back.
There are so many options. This is your chance to break a few rules and be creative.
P.S.
If you could build that "Crystals" block you can do anything!
