    Cute embroideries, and the colors on the left really compliment them better.
    Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!

    I'm wondering how it would look if you switched the blue with the rosebuds, using narrow strips of the dark pink, blue and dark pink then wider strips of the rosebuds.
    Just thinking the blue goes so well but maybe too much of the rosebuds in contrast. I think the dark pink right next to your blocks would really bring out the embroidery.

    I believe UFOs are like scraps, ferns and dust bunnies. Once you get two, they send spores out into the air and more just happen anywhere the spores meet.

    UPDATE:
    I took a trip back to the quit shop yesterday to get some one on one guidance. A lovely salesperson took me under her wing and guided me in the right direction. She was so patient and so helpful I felt I couldn't say thank you enough! When I left there I knew I was finally going in the right direction, and for the first time since I started this project I knew it would turn out well. It's a bit brighter than I would have liked it to be, (that's the heirloom sewing part of me coming out)... but it really does make the embroideries POP without overwhelming them. I will be binding it in the same color as the bright salmon pink. I LOVED the fabric that we found together such a pretty pretty piece!! Soooo here is the finished pieced top! Now, on to the quilting party!!
    Thank you again everyone! I truly truly appreciated every single reply! You helped me so very much with your thoughtful replies.
    Thank you!!

    Always a great moment when the fabrics finally shout YES to you!

    It actually looks much more vibrant in the photo than it is !!! The soft colors that swirl in the print match so many things in the tiny print and embroidery. I have been agonizing over this for far too long. It's time to move on and finish it!!
