QuiltE its amazing how you stimulate my thoughts and ideas. LOL Im like wow I didnt even think of putting other characters on top of this design. I was very drawn in by the black in between the bargello also. Now Im seeing silloettes of running horses or this would make a awesome background for a silloette of Jenniky and her horse. Hmm I probably could get her blown up larger at Kinko's like you suggested. Well I have a lot of learning to do before I attempt it. But this idea is definitely taking up a couple of pages in my Projects on the Back Burner list.
I drew up Mikey's girlfriend last night. Im thinking her block is going to be applique because she is so curvy. I think Im going to draw up all the blocks Im planning before I actually make anymore squares.
that way I can get the bigger picture of the block layouts, borders and sashings.
