I'm not crazy about the daises either. If I did anything with them on the topper, it would be random cornerstones. The mum liked the daisies, but there is only about a meter of it. It may be that they get worked into a tea cozy and pot holders.
There is only a 1/4 inch of blue between some of the animal motif's, so that would be in my seams. No way to keep it. I've been studying the EQ block library to see if I could set them into some other block patterns, then arrange. I'm getting nothing but headaches.
Thanks, and keep the ideas coming - something just might click.
