brookemarie19 - adorable. He really needs to be surrounded by others.
If you don't want to do surrounding blocks perhaps you might do some interesting corner squares. Didn't he have a butterfly landing on his hand in one sequence? Pieced butterfly corners. That works for me.
I planned for the challenge to encompass the centre as well as surrounding area of the quilt to see how creative people can get with the entire thing. But I don't want to scare you off, just to get those creative juices flowing.
I have no experience with the gridded fusible. I just have Franky in many small pieces on my design wall and will probably sew him together line by line. That means no chain piecing but also fewer chances for errors. He'd really be a monster if part of Franky's head was in the background or his suit coat instead.
vickyg626 - so glad to hear hubby is home and there was a happy reunion. My wishes for a continued recovery, and a quick one, at home.
