I trimmed the fabric and interfacing from the back to make it more lightweight. I used scraps from another quilt but had to buy more fabric for the cornerstones of each block. Will post a picture if I can.
i think that is what the Eleanor Burns method is too. Something I would try. Thanks for the additional information on this method.
