This is my first post. I decided not to do the 9 - Shoo Fly blocks as I enjoy the applique more. I picked from other sources for those 9 blocks, as well as designing the cross and heart for my love of God and country. The letters are my last name. I haven't decided if I will put it at the top or bottom. I will still be doing the 64 double nine patches and have been cutting strips for them. All applique blocks have the same background, and the double nine patches are a tan color so the applique will stand out in the lighter color. All are batiks. None of the blocks will be trimmed until I assemble the quilt, so they are all oversize.
I'm having lots of fun. It certainly helps in this time of sheltering in!
