I think it would work, but I would build up my SS to the same size as the 9P and alternate them.

Not typically a fan of sunbonnet sue, but I do really like her when she's doing things. The gardening is quite fun! And the embroidery is lovely.

I agree. SS will be overwhelmed if they are not the same size as the other block. Should be great! :thumbup:
