Sorry everyone, I posted pics of my finished block, and forgot to come back and answer questions.

I am photocopying my block, enlarging it to 142% so that it will look right on a 10in finished block (I am cutting my fabric out at 11in, because that fits nicely across the width of Kona cotton.

I then put the copy on a light box (Patti posted some suggestions for these on the main thread) and cover with the black, then trace the design with a Sewline Pencil (yellow lead).

I appliqued the blue onto the yellow, then cut away some of the yellow behind the blue (to cut down on bulk)

Back, once the yellow is appliqued to the black, and again cut away

This is the back of my final block, with hearts cut away

~The front again, to save you going back to look for it
