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.
