Mel...my rear end is kinda spreading abit nowadays...too much sitting at the machine and less working out on the land l- we have a saying like the back end of a bus lol!!
I think your fabrics are gorgeous and the pattern is adorable, I LOVE applique and that pattern is so cottagy (Sp) do you understand what I mean by that term, in U.K. we have tiny little cottages with roses around the door...it just reminds me of them (sigh.... :D )
Edit: I just took another look and I used to live it a little house JUST like the house in the middle top...wow!! :D
