Thanks a gazillion. I checked out all your referrals on the internet and laid out the blocks according to some other suggestions. I really like the coffin one and the nine patch on point caught my eye.

My problem is I'm a "line the furniture along the wall" person. I have a hard time with random patterns. Although, these might work because they are all in the Christmas red, green area and will certainly blend together. Maybe this is the time I need to throw caution to the wind. I'll let you know my choice.

I can't wait to see what you make!! I am like you -- don't go out of the lines!! LOL.

Good luck to you and maybe you will inspire me!!
