now that i look at it, i think i'd put the thinner rails to the inside near the centre square and the wider rails to the outside, makes it look more like the LC block that way. so many other things on that free projects page. check out the gypsy pincushion too. soooooo cute. and a simple chair caddy to make for anyone who takes her hand sewing (quilting or binding etc) to various places to work on. off to check out more of the stuff there, jeanne
