I thing those pretty motifs may struggle to compete with any background quilting, but less so with cross-hatching than with clamshells. I would have to do the background as I went with each block, otherwise I would be tempted not to go back and do it--but you probably don't suffer from that problem like I do. : )Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-69113314455899388282012-06-21T05:40:37.731-07:002012-06-21T05:40:37.731-07:00Your JT2 blocks are looking great, but I really lo...Your JT2 blocks are looking great, but I really love BTCT!
