Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner works its magic
In between uses, I rest the hot mini iron in a cup, because...
... the stand didn't do its job so swell. After the hot iron sat on it for a couple of hours, the iron heated the metal part of the stand, and the hot metal melted the plastic base. By the time I went to find the source of the burning plastic odor, the little iron was resting flat against the base, and it was a soft, gooey mess.
Background fabric is placed on the pattern... another pattern at the side for reference while placing the pieces.

I will do a blanket stitch around all the pieces tomorrow, insert the photos into the tutorial, and print enough for the ladies at the quilting group.
FANTASTIC!
