Dunster, I hadn't thought of that... will probably follow PumpkinPatchQuilter's process and turn the edges under... I will look into the reverse applique, too, cjsews... I'll let you know! The wool might have been a smarter choice... well, I'll make a test block or two and let you know!! I'm getting to go for a week of quilting, yes, a WEEK!! I'll have time to play with this...Joyce888, I'll definitely test this before making more than one block!!
Thank you, everyone!!!
