Cajunbear, I agree. I am not to fond of some of those rounds. I do love your center block. I would take it out and use it.
www.lenzula.com has free paper pieced new york beauty blocks. There is a group on the board that was doing them. I had planned on joining them but never did. I have changed my mind numerous times on what i want for my center block. I found and awesome applique that I would like to use. Not sure about it yet. I am trying to figure out if I can do it by machine. I am allergic to hand sewing.It is called Haleakala Sunrise by Sarah by the sea designs. I want to do it in either purple and orange or purple and lime green. I love bright colors. Can't wait to get started.
