I am doing 2 with the group on this board. I wont be doing this one due to the fact I bought the wrong book. I love your blocks and will continue to peek. To anwere the question of cutting the layer out on the back. I dont I think it weakens the top. I have been doing needleturn app. for many, many years and never did. Have no trouble with the hand quilting by leaving it. JO

Not necessarily all from a certain line of fabrics, tho some may be mates. I just picked them off of the JoAnns quilting wall.

The finer the needle, the smaller the hole it makes which creates a neater line but I usually end up having to compromise on needle size to avoid any frustration with dropping the needle 50 times because I can't grip it.
