I can't imagine doing all that work without the fabric in a hoop or frame! Wow! I always imagined you had it in a frame first, then cut it down and sewed the edges after...I'm doubly impressed with your blocks then! I'm just starting to do some small wool felt applique and embroidery, and also find it tricky to work on such a squishy medium without a frame.
