    It is really not hard and I don't have it in a format I can email. Just google maltese cross images. A page with tons of them will come up. Choose one that does not have a copywrite, print it, outline it with a sharpie and take to a copy center to blow up to 24" including the background. Use your favorite fusible for the applique or, time permitting do by hand. The log cabin blocks are 12" finished. To start cut a 3 1/2 inch center. Then the other pieces are cut from 2" strips. I wish I could help more with the medallion, I just can't figure out how to do it so you could print the correct size of 24"! You really can do this easily from a search! Thanks for all the compliments! The real credit goes to all those who serve and protect us!

    There have been so many in Texas this year. The Bastrop and Possum Kingdom areas were 2 of the largest with Possum Kingdom having 2 times with it! I'm so sorry for the trials and loss for your family!
