Thank you all for the support, I'm thinking to do as much by hand as I can, but may break it into two projects. I get overwhelmed then the flimsy gets larger than twin bed size. I am dreading the applique portion, because I like straight lines and geometric shapes, I am not a flower person. I promise to make at least one basket with flowers, to learn the technique, I think the applique is next month
. Who knows maybe I will understand how to do it properly and like it?
