Help!
I need help deciding what to do for my center. I've never done a project like this before, and I'm a beginner quilter.
Here are my 3 ideas:
1. A Mariner's Compass-type block, using
Tim's Compass Star. It would be my first ever try at foundation paper piecing. Eeek?
2. A center made of four "Snail's Trail" (aka "Monkey Wrench") blocks, because DH and I both really like spiral patterns. I want to do a full-sized bed quilt in a "Snail's Trail" pattern one day.
3. This block from The Quilter's Cache:

I love trees, I have some nice scraps I could use for the "leaves" and it would give people lots of opportunity to add interesting borders, I think.
If I did #1 or #2 it would be using the batik fabrics in the picture below.
All your input, ideas, suggestions, warnings, pointers would be very, very helpful!
Thanks,
Jan
