I finally got my block done last night but I can't post pictures as I have no camera. Anyway, I couldn't do the needle turn because I couldn't see the lines so I used Eleanor's way of using the fusable Pellon for creating all of the pieces. That way I could take them to work and turn them on my lunch hour. The small circles didn't work with the Pellon. I ended up using fusible to get the circles on. I hope that is okay. I did sew everything but the circles by hand to the background. The circles I sewed on by machine with a blanket stitch. First time and it doesn't look too bad, if I say so myself. I hope I am allowed to do it this way? Also, the hand sewing gave me two fingers with giant holes on my left hand where the needle poked on the under side; when one got too sore to use, I switched to a different finger. I am glad I have time before the next one to heal. Thanks for listening.
