Aunt Gracie Two-Block Project

I posted two of these blocks, a Shoo Fly and an Inverse 54-40 or Fight, back in November 2013. It was an experiment with bits rummaged from my scrap bag, to see what the two blocks would look like together. I whipped up twenty-one Shoo Fly blocks in no time. In a day or two I had enough two-patches to form the corners of twenty-one 54-40s, then I promptly ran out of the slightly-off-white fabric I used for the background. I set the project aside until I could find a close enough match to finish it. Thanksgiving came and went, and then Christmas, and before I knew it these blocks had lain buried and forgotten for ALMOST TWO YEARS! Even now they're nowhere near finished; just a bunch of 4" sub-blocks thrown up on the design wall, waiting to be stitched together. But it looks like they'll be worth the work.
