Oh, what about a little cafe scene, with embroidered wire chairs and a striped awning?

I would be glad to make a block and send with $5. I will go with what you all decide, but it would be nice to see it placed in a museum. Definitely put into a quilt though. :thumbup:

Will a picture of it printed on a fabric sheet work? Maybe post some crazy patch or triangles, etc. bordering it. Unless you're really gifted and cut the designs out and place in order. Alot of work for that!!!! ;-)
