I'm thinking of doing a sort of attic window with each block. Maybe embroider something different in each block. I dunno.
Thanks for the tip. Being new to quilting I'm anxious to try everything
Your idea of the attic Window sounds great
Even being "old" to quilting, we want to try everything. Just be careful you don't overwhelm yourself. I've done that before, and sometimes still do.
