sigh talked it over with Jaba and she brought up how many pieces were in that one and the size of the blocks for some reason my mind saw 3.5" as the block size not thinking about its three blocks high so I am going now for another one.. its a nine patch but its on point.. the patches are all the black and greens and possible I could use some of the yellow alternating it.. then the in theory triangles that are between would be black also so the squares would be "floating" in the black.. OR plan b could be the yellow on one side the one attaching to the quilt and black on the other.. going to do a mock up then you can decide. one of those gotta see it things.
