Appears to me that you really need to feed your habit. Now off to the fabric shop for you.

I love the one with the pillow print. Is this your own drawing or a pattern. So cute.

Use the blue.

First thought in my head was, I would use the floral in the middle of the flower. I guess my thinking is pretty much in tune with everyone else.

Even though I like the floral, I wouldn't use it in the center of the flower and the pillow. I think it would look like there was a hole in the pig and we could see the pillow that the pig is laying on underneath.

So, really, what you want is for us to tell you to go shopping. Hey, if you want to shop, then go! Enjoy! Pick out something you LOVE! Have fun! (I am a fabric enabler... so is my DH.)

First off I want to tell you your little pig is just adorable! Is this your own design? As far as the flower center I think the blue looks good but do you? You are the one that has to like it. You have a lot of good opinions here so have fun!

I vote you use the fabric in the 1st picture, but you do need to go shopping to fill in the gaps that are left by using up those fabrics!

I would try the colors you have chosen. If you are going to use a fusible, I would cut a little bigger piece and see if that layout looks good to you. I just find the color combinations to be excellent in the original picture. I like the rich purple for a blanket and the pop of colors for the flower. The lavender works for the inner ear..

I think you need different fabric for the box. **Go shopping girl!

And, I would audition all kinds of different solid colors and/or ones that read solid for the center of the flower.
