Good for you Muv. Looking forward to seeing more progress pics. I'm almost finished my centre maple leaf. I will wash it and hope the pencil lines come out but I may just add white cross stitching to the outer sides anyway so my centre is not off-white while the rest of my blocks are white. I am winging it, as you can tell. Adding a cross stitch centre to a fabric quilt is definitely new to me and I hope it works.
Seeing progress others have made is keeping me motivated. Thanks all.
