We had to use each of the 4 fabrics. Honestly, I hate the color combos this year! I love the blue center and it just about killed me to add the green and orange. Next time I make it, I will do it just for me!
It's a great block, congratulations on your win. Don't worry about the colors, the blue definitely steals the show. The orange and green are there as after thoughts only. :thumbup:
