In the previous post, I showed a photo with 2 blocks on it. The bottom block is one I made called Bessie. When I had it all finished, I realized that the "beige and caramel" fabrics (the colors in the center pinwheel) didn't show very well. They sort of blended in and layed down and died. So I tried something I hadn't ever done before. I got out my Oil Pastels and colored white over the beige blocks to lighten them up, and light brown over the caramel to darken it a bit. Hey, what do you know... It worked!

hugs, Jupiter
