I was thinking about cross hatching, I think that is what it is called to add alittle more to the blocks. would like to hear what you think. thanks For looking

I would probably leave them the way that they are, I like the way that the diagonal stitching echos the wings of the butterflies. These look great, BTW!

I like what you have so far - have you gone around the butterflys? I think if you do that, what you have will be enough.
