:0(Back to the drawing board! This time, I sewed it together all the way around EXCEPT at the wing tips... then I turned it right side out and whipstitched the wing tips closed from the right side...
Click to embiggen...That worked a bit better, even if it didn't come out quite so even. I think it should work as a good basis for embroidery, though...
After I managed that, I treated myself to finishing Block 6 of the Midsummer quilt.
The next block is the lower left corner block... I'm turning the corner!! WooHoo!

You can sew all the way around and then cut a slit in the back fabric for turning. Saves that whip-stitched part. Which I can NOT do well. Necessity is the mother of invention.
Why do you need that underneath fabric anyway? You could just do hand applique and eliminate the bulk.
Are you joining the TIF Challenge webring?
sometimes what we think will work in our head, doesn't translate in fabric! I've done that many times. I admire your determination! keep at it! you'll find a way that works.
Beautiful stitching!
I like the way the moth is coming along. I know you will make it even more beautiful with stitching. The midnight block is so interesting with the varied stitch sizes and the reflections. Very pretty block.
Yes, I agree that the moth will be transformed by your embroidery of it...
Your stitching is so beautiful. This quilt is going to look moonlit! How cool is that!!!?!!
