Thank you, it does. I was thinking of making a sampl,e block but this'll work well. I got to thinking that the tile squares were the same size as the plain blocks so they could be used interchangeably but perhaps not. We'll see this weekend

Your fabrics are lovely, but i'd have trouble cutting them small. May I ask who the manufacturer is?

I just haven't seen them be used in any quilts.

I would use the first fabric as a backing. It is too beautiful to cut up!

You could make a copy on your printer and work up a paper block to see how it works.

Beautiful pattern, but I think I would choose those fabrics for back and or borders. They look like big patterns and will get lost when cut up.

I agree with the others. What about the BQ pattern by Maple Island Quilts? Where can I find your beautiful fabric.

Or put the fabric on a color copier and make some copies. Then cut and paste these into your design.

Made a sample block... comments? The edges still need to be turned back, but what do you think of the block? Please be candid. TIA
