GrannyQ those blocks are gorgeous--I love the different shades of purple. Great job. Weezie I like yours on the dark background. I think it makes them "pop". It's going to be hard to choose a background color I think.
You guys rock! Thanks for the feedback. I didn't like block #18 from the beginning. It does jump out doesn't it. I'll try adding brighter colors in some more to see if that tames it down or may end up re-doing that one. (You know I can't even dress myself in colors--I wear black!!) Thank you thank you. I hope everyone is learning as much as I am from this project and you guys.
