ok....
consensus it that I *am* nuts!! :thumbup:
have drafted a couple of blocks to get me going, but have also ordered the pattern so I can get the quilt right (looking like the picture I fell in love with)
am making the nine patches from my strip.string box, the four patches and shoo-fly blocks from strips and strings
not a lot to show yet, just a diagram, and three!! nine patches
will post pictures when I have a double nine patch and a shoo-fly dine
