    I was thinking of adding a middle block about the size of two blocks for center in which I would FMQ some type of design. Thank you for your advice.

    Thank you for the pictures. I had thought about appliqueing them at first but decided upon the embroidery.

    I should have stated that this image is from the advertisement for the blocks from Jack Dempsey, not my actual blocks.

    Thank God for our kinder, gentler board! Back in the day, that would have earned a smackdown for a copyright violation!

    Produce 2 complimentary 18" blocks to fill in the center and have a 3x4 layout. Something similar to this:

    Thank you for the picture! Yes this is what I was thinking and the use of Dresden Plates reminds me of the umbrellas! Thank you again.

    If you make 10 18" blocks - now you have 20 total and that's a nice 4x5 setting. That's 72" across before you start adding borders or sashing

    Another option for your blocks. I couldn't figure out how to copy your ladies into EQ. I'm sure it's simple. One day I will take the time to learn. But how about some young ballerinas?
