I have a deer panel that has blacks, blues, gray and white in it so I am using graph paper and so far have auditioned a disappearing nine patch block to go around it or a lovers knot block using blacks, blues and white. Have not put together any blocks yet to see how it looks, like I said laying it out on graph paper. I am thinking I want the blocks to be either 10" finished or 12" finished. Hope this gives you some ideas.
