Thanks, PP. Finally got smart enough to make a sample!! Also, I cut the binding to 2 1/4" and that makes for a much more "handle-able" strip. The I reviewed Marci Baker's tutorials and hear the words "pivot points" a lot! So I've pinned and glued my sample and tomorrow (if I can wait that long!) I will baste sew it to the back! Thank you all for the encouragement and help!!
Hopefully a picture tomorrow!
