I'm definitely taking my time...I love everybody's suggestions and will be using a lot of them. So far I have the fusible material for the backing and I'm going to use the Cracy Eights pattern, which I received yesterday. I still haven't taken the clothes apart. That first cut will be the hardest. The clothes are so cute, I wish I couuld pass them on to my niece who is having a baby in December. Anyway, I'm not the best quilter in the world and this one will be a challenge for me.
