would be cool

It'll be pretty and be sure to post a pic when completed :)

What a great idea, I'm thinking I'll make one with 45 degree wedges for the large print area and 4 patch posies for the smaller square area. i love the maze idea for a setting!

Is there a problem with the setting triangles on the outer edge where the floral fabric you would use in the 4PP would have to some up against each other? Seems like you would lose the effect of the 4PP in those areas.

Is it kind of rule-of-thumb that a larger scale print would yield nicer 4pps in larger sized blocks and vice versa? I'd kind of like to end up with a 6" (finished) 4pp. |
My experience with the 4PP is that a focus fabric that has a distinct motif, whether floral or geometric, and a good amount of background, so those motifs stand out, gives the best effect. I think the floral you have chosen doesn't have enough background. I always check the potential of a fabric by using mirros set at a 90 degree angle. Give it a try!

I have the pattern and fabric in my sewing room just waiting for me to get to it. I think your idea is a good one. Please post pictures when you finish.
