Yep, that's it.

I also was given a pair of Fiskars Rag Snips. They are so easy to use that I volunteered to take care of those seam areas for one of our charity quilters who made the quilt but didn't want to do the snipping.

Yes, it took me a while, but it got done while I watched [really listened] to TV.
