I looked it over again tonight, and I am definately going to go with doing machine applique on new background 12x12 squares of muslin, and then trim out the middle of the background square. Only the corners should show from behind, and that will give me straight sided blocks so I can redo the sashing. Are we agreed? Let's save this lovely quilt!!! :-)
