Thank you one and all! You have provided some outstanding suggestions & ideas.The handle is being considered as well as allotting extra space to put feet into the pillow. I think I have a few panels in my stash & will see if I can find them & see if seems right for the project.
bearisgray, your triangle block is a wonderful option. Also not too time consuming! I'm off to try & find those pesky panels.
Have a great day & Thanks again.
