I had already done SITD between each of the embroidered letter blocks and the borders. Since I'm not a FMQer I'd hate to ruin it at this point with trying something new that I'd end up ripping. I guess I'll try to do some straight rows in between which would make a cross-hatch cornerstone. Thanks for the compliments, they did a lot for my confidence. I just want to get a lot better, and that's an investment of time and practice.
