Thank you everyone for the quick responses and ideas. I have so many choices ~ but I think I like the circle idea. Truth is that I have'nt completed the back blocks, so I could change just about anything at this point - to plain blocks or I've made one D4P and that looks pretty good too. I'm actually thinking of 1/2 D9P and 1/2 D4P for the back using the red/white combination; then use circles to create a bubbly effect. What do you think? I really don't trust myself to meander and definitely can't go with any type of SITD. I appreciate all the ideas and insight!
