Judy, LOVE your blocks all laid out....you might need to borrow Mousies Al-kabong skillet for your DH! I am going to lay mine out as if they were being done the same way that the pattern calls for....maybe...LOL! In other words..start with block #8, block #9, etc. only turn them on point.
For those of you doing trapunto.....its VERY important that you use high loft poly for the trapunto part. Cotton in that part has the potential of leaving your trapunto looking a bit like your grandma's bra...if ya' know what I mean. Then you can use whatever is your favorite batting and sandwich as usual.
I can't wait to see your half square tri's Judy!
