Yes, I could piece a checkerboard block and do the setting triangles though it wouldn't have the real look of the weave.
Maybe I could put fusible on the back of each strip so that they are fused down to the weave below it and not just to the background.
I could do a decorative applique stitch on the edge of each weave to so they aren't crumb catchers.
The design right now is 76"x76", the squares are 16" with the frames and the oval has a border of lace.
The applique patterns are 12" corner designs by Distinctive Pieces. www.distinctivepieces.com
