Bstone I finished the sugar skulls. I took colors from the fabric the green fabric is a perfect match for those green leaves, and the orange is near perfect for most of the orange in the print. I thought the "lines" in the green fabric mimicked the line drawing in the skulls. Hope you like it.

Pamela the rulers that have been mentioned are all good. So much fun you can do w/ dressies so many variations. Some of the modern ones aren't appliqued at all ( straight blades that come to the edges of the block) and squared centers. For my centers I make a circle w/ a stiff thin cardboard cut a piece of fabric about 1 inch bigger and do a quick basting stitch around the edges pull it tight over the cardboard and press the beegeesus out of it to get a firm pressing line, let it cool, take the stitching out and take the cardboard out and sew in place.
