Wow! The pictures show amazing quilt toppers.
Thank you to the people that gave suggestions on which B fabric I should use. Emma, I'm glad I switched my B fabric too.
I will lose the points on most of the corner 4 1/2 inch blocks and it isn't exactly square. Oh, well, at least I can say I did setting triangles and put the topper on an angle. More angled tops will now be in my future because it was easier than I thought at least to this point. I am concerned about the 'twist' that Judy mentioned in this last direction.

Here is mine, on the design wall, have a bunch of sewing to do..lol I think I tried every pc of fabric in the room before I put this one with it and it clicked, at least for me..Hope I did ok.. I think there are more of these in my future.. Everyone's tops are really pretty, but I'm really partial to Dot's batik, and the purple w/flowers ones..but I love batiks and particularly flowers.. This has been another fun ride, I'm just kinda settin' and watching the countryside go by, thanks again PMJ...

sunliten smiles thanks for the chuckle!
4 choices as I think the B fabric that I matched my 3 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch blocks to is way too busy. It is the last picture. Suggestions, anyone on what looks best? If I don't use the B fabric now, maybe it can be part of the border or the backing.
I will check back after I go to Hudson for my son's 31st birthday dinner!

Jabba: Never apologize to a quilter for showing your stash. As pretty as your topper is I bet about half us spent more time peering at the beautiful fabric in your stash. OK: That floral relay works well with your blocks. It really is funny, that when you hit the "right" one there is almost an audible click. Boone: Such a pretty scrappy! So many diverse fabrics and the blend perfectly.
