oh....thanks so much everyone! I think I will do the diagonal through the fourpatch and follow it to the little blue squares and stitch in the ditch the white rectangles.
Tartan...I have a very simple brother sewing machine. It does okay for piecing but has a couple of issues I have to constantly be aware of, so quilting with it is a no go. I am hoping to soon get a nice machine and actually take a lesson in machine quilting. Just to have the knowledge and variety.
Would be nice to be able to do both! Thanks for your suggestion!
