Or use a pieced background for alittle more movement??<br /><br />I really hate running into this type of decisions early on - as MGQ said - they are fine as they are too.

Your block(s) look good to me - maybe some berries could fill it in a bit if all that space is really bugging you.

I get it. You know me... a little slow on the uptake from time to time. Dig your house block. Oh so, so fun. The fabrics you use in the block are so eye-catching and zesty! That's it. Zesty. Dig it.

What a hooot!!!*karendianne.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15557033346962825857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-75482492847653371452010-07-03T09:19:45.128-07:002010-07-03T09:19:45.128-07:00I'm not seeing that the appplique blocks are t...I'm not seeing that the appplique blocks are too empty--by the time you square up and take up 1 inch with seams all around, it will fill nicely.
