    Now I am drawing the design on the outer 20 blocks. I had put that off until I got my light box.

    The next thing I'm doing is sewing the 16 blocks together into the center unit & then I have to decide what I'm going to do about that little inner border. Haven't given it any thought as I wanted to see what the blocks would look like before making any decisions.
    I have a light box and can completely understand how helpful it will be to you in this project.

    You ladies are doing a fabulous job on these blocks, they are all soooooooo beautiful! :thumbup:
