this thread is taking off. I want to read back as well.
You did hit my problem area pictures. I have a cheapy camera and I wobble so my pictures are pretty nigh useless.
I'll do what I can. basically it is working with a foundation then putting your piece that will go under all the other edges down and then finger crease the next piece 1/4 inch and baste it to the underlying piece and the foundation. once everything is basted I'll go back and for the scrappy top stitch.
