Will this be your center square -or-

Yes, they are all silk. I checked them over for stains, but I did not wash them first. I am going to be making more plates, just like this one. Although, I think I'm going to use the idea of putting a red colored tie in the center.

Yes, I did use the narrow end too. I only got 1 plate out of the end though, the rest came from the wider part. I got about 6 blades out of each tie.

I love the color,s it takes the pattern to a much higher level. I like this much better than any others I have seen.

I really like it-it has a lot of character. I wouldn't decide on a background color until you have more blocks made. I think you will like it better when finished.
