I just purchased 3 yds of this from Hancock's of Paducah. I'm gonna make a sundress! SO CUTE!

I think you've gotten a lot of good tips here and don't have anything to add, but that is gorgeous fabric. Too bad I just posted in another topic that I will only buy backing, batting and finishing fabrics. Good luck and please share pics of your finished projects!!!

I just really want to be able to see the seahorses somewhere in each block thanks for thinking about it :idea:

It is straightforward (literally!) and you still end up with something original and personal. Can't lay my hands on the book right now, so please check those sizes.

I agree, the attic window would be great

I vote for the snowball block with nine-patches. I'm gonna try to find some of this for my niece...she'd love it.

I would think that any block that has a square or diamond shape in the center would work well, just depends on how "fussy" you are willing to go.
