My LQS has a sample up for a kit that is fantastic. I started doing some research and found your blooming 9 patch. It is lovely! I'm gathering fabrics now...started with an Asian style floral from my stash and have found another line I hope will be complimentary. I'm planning on using the 8 different colors as Blanche Young's pattern (Traditions with a Twist) suggests. I just hope I get a result as lovely as yours. Oh, the sample at my local shop was done with a panel fussy cut to blend parts into the whole pattern.
