Have you considered sewing the windows on by machine? It's really easy. Eddie put a tute up on the board here.

Thanks all,that helps!! I like the machine sewing, but I'm doing this so that I have a take along project to do. One day of idle hands at the water park last week drove me crazy! Lol

The stitch I use is demonstrated very well on this video:

let me know how you are making out with your project!

OMG Dena that's totally do'able!! Thanks!!!! So that's okay to do for the windows then..... Just do it along the turned edge... I thought I was supposed to go all the way through!! lol!

Oh, I never worried about going all the way through. In fact, if you keep it loose, it makes the top "windows" float above the base so you can actually put a finger underneath it. Kinda cool.

By the way, I never sewed my bases together by machine. I joined them by hand too. I did try the machine join but found it was easier to be accurate putting two bases wrong sides together and whip stitching. The cathedral windows cover the join anyways!

Yeah I was prepping all the squares and decided to do the whole thing by hand. It's meant to be a take along and if I do half of it by machine, I'll have nothing to take along! Lol
