OK, so the green stays! I don't know why I was having second thoughts about it. Hopefully I will like it better once the blocks are finished with the applique. I will stay the course.

Mavis, I'm at work so I don't have the book with me, but that block is the first block foundation that uses HSTs. Jupiter posted a schedule on page 1 that has us working just the foundation blocks for the first 3 weeks to get used to Penny Haren's techniques. Some of us are just doing the foundation techniques (see Karla's HST's above), but I wanted to go ahead and do the full foundation block that I will use when we get to that week. None of my blocks have any of the applique yet though. You probably don't recognize the block because it is missing the applique that the final block has. If I remember right, the block is called Prosperity? If nobody else confirms, I'll get the page number for you when I get home tonight.

And - I like your block up above! I think you did a great job! Are those the fabrics you plan to use or was it a practice block?
Yes, the block is called Prosperity. And, I like the green in your blocks.
