Have to say thank you for sharing this with us. Hope we can do the same for you.
Love, love your quilts.
I made a "Dazzling Dresden" which is basically made the same way. The results are unbelievably beautiful but so easy.

Hi Jennie, just wondering what the two finished block sizes are please. Also, wondering how do you choose the fabric used with the one Athenagwis gave you, ie what does it look like before you fussy cut it so that you get those kaleidoscopic shapes. Hope this makes sense. BTYW Just love the sister,have been waiting to see it and only found it yestereday. Superb! CarolB

The finished sizes are 12" and 9".
And, here is the fabric you are asking about, in a block (top left and bottom right) and then by itself.
I chose it because it had a symmetrical design.

In your first photo, I used one of those fabrics - the one that is pink and brown.
I love your fabrics. After examining all in the first photo, I think the only one that will give you trouble for this type of block is the large scale print that is rust and gold on the left side of the picture. It goes in one direction and isn't symmetrical.
I'll take some time and really look at the second grouping of fabrics too.

I was also wondering if you could separate the fabrics in photo 2 and take another picture or two? From what I see, they are blending together so it's hard to determine exactly which fabrics might work for you.
