Looking great, sewingitalltogether! Your improvisation is working out super. I like the dove block...those Y-seams are a bit challenging. The pattern can, also, be challenging. Just take one block at a time as you are doing.
Anael...yes, remove freezer paper before sewing..otherwise, you'll have a real mess on your hands..lol.. For starch, I just used Best Press....worked great...
I was able to a sew a bit again today and sewed border 1 on to center. Had to miter corners and found a super easy method. Turned out really nice. Next border is ready to go on and has Y-seams at the corner....tackling that tomorrow as I wait to hear news of sister in surgery. My anxiety has been thru the roof. Our house is back on the market....had 2 buyers yesterday so we'll see how fast we can make this happen.
