That sounds scrummy too, Gal - it will have a totally different look, as will Meredith's - wow, that will be sooooooooo different, Aie would be hard pressed to recognise it, I think. I am really looking forward to everyone's blocks as the pics start coming in.
As for the book/embroidery - just because you may not be keen on how it was done on the original, it really is just a matter of practice, and I will be doing a thread on techniques, well before we start, so you can all have a go at practicing, or trying a different one compared to what you may have thought originally.
Please don't drop out before you have started, just because you don't like the pics on the original quilt. I could understand it if you tried it for yourself and didn't like your own efforts, but even then, we are here to help resolve those issues.
