Anne, have you ever seen Eleanor Burns' show where she uses postage stamp squares to create a cross-stitch look quilt? I saw that episode not long ago on t.v.; I loved what she did, counting blocks, choosing colors & using sticky paper with pre-drawn grid lines on which to lay out the little blocks before sewing them together. Anyway, among other things, she made a gorgeous basket of flowers in the quilt center & had equally gorgeous "cross-stitch" corners & borders. I really liked it a LOT!
