Doghouse mom....I have a larger print in mind too but I'm thinking of using it as large diamonds to set the hexes in instead off squaring up the block with the corner pieces. I have to see if my LQS has more...I only have a FQ.

Hmm ... yeah ... I guess they are "Fall colors". I wasn't thinking that when I chose them. I was choosing to match the color in the dining room :)

doghousemom, I think of your fabrics as civil war type and I was thinking of using them, too. Have to do some playing around with what pops out at me from my stash. I also have several light batiks that would make a lovely background, so.......we'll see!

I am thinking about removing the 3 darkest blues and using a black for the background. I will use just one background for the whole thing, I think. This is subject to change, depending what I find in the stash when I finally get to looking at it. I think there is a good length of black near the top. LOL
