I just took at look at planned patch hood and think your revision is superior. I had drafted out the pattern earlier this week and made some sample blocks using 1-1/2 inch strips. Your combination of bright colors and different patterns is the key. When I combined two lights and two darks, I felt that the sizzle of block was absent. My friend, Rose, is going to make something for her husband whose name is Tom. We liked the "t" shapes. I was pleased with the 2 -1/2 inch strips from my stash collection for the finished eight inch block. Thanks for sharing your treasure.
Piecefully yours,
Kay Susan
