Thank you for the votes to not change anything. :-) I let it simmer and it's growing on me. Looking at the fabric requirements there are a LOT of difference fabrics in the collection that I used so I cut it down to just 8 of them. It doesn't look any different really, just used the same blues, same greens, etc. I kept the main fabrics the same. I will need two darker blue pieces for the birds from my stash and brown for their legs.
Yes, I can share the pattern. I'm thinking about which way to do some of the blocks. It's a toss up between what is "easiest" or what's "neatest". I think it would look better with one white triangle rather than using white squares.

The small pieces would make your quilt look older..think of back then the size of fabrics and how hard to get.
If you want any helps when you get it done there is always a bed that needs a new quilt here.

Ok, final cut. :P This shows the patched triangles and only using 8 fabrics. I am not totally sure that the scale of the large floral is right but I will fussy cut it so that the motif is centered and oriented the right way. I'll get them ordered today.
The overall size of 72"x72" is dependent on what size the border repeat is, which I haven't really looked for yet, but this is based on 6" wide. The next row is 6" blocks, then 12" blocks. The inner red border is 1 1/2" and the center medallion is 21".

That's a beautiful design Pam!!! Looking forward to seeing it put together.
I got EQ6 for Christmas and had my first class on it Wed night. I had fun "designing" quilts. You seem to have a great grasp on how to use the program!!
