Actually, I'm not wild about stipple and since it is such an old fashioned fabric choice, I was thinking maybe something alittle bit funky to make it "modern" - straight "greek" squares in each block was my first thought, but I could possibly do some type of circle - what size of circle would look good do you think? Also, on thread choice, I think the white would show up more on the front than the pastel multi-color which might blend in more - what does everyone else think?
