This block is meant to be a creative improv one and I would encourage you to think outside the box for an overall quilt layout too. I am currently playing with the idea of doing half white background blocks with black frames and half black background blocks with white frames. When my quilt is finished I will post a link to the final quilt here. Also see the top tips section above about planning your block sizes ahead of time to make life easier for yourself (although I don't always follow my own advice on this!)
