I can't wait to see your progress on Shenandoah. I didn't realize the blocks were so small....9" is tiny for so much applique. I think 12" is much more manageable and it will result in a quilt that is a more practical size.Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166374693095867682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391988816380415741.post-34372944199366074632015-09-19T01:16:03.836+10:002015-09-19T01:16:03.836+10:00You are amazing.

Not sure what size I will do or what my background color(s) will be. But I am so looking forward to seeing your blocks.
