Quiltbuddy, when I do very small pieces, I reduce the seam allowance and do needleturn. This reduces bulk and the edges turn easier. Don't forget to use the toothpick or sandwich pick. Be patient.
Bonnie, the fabric selection is wonderful. I know you can do a great job appliqueing since you have had so much practice.
I am anxious to hear how everything progresses. I plan to select my fabrics today and get started also.
