Your work is beautiful. I am also working on this pattern (over here it's called " AFFAIRS OF THE HEART"). I have all the florals pressed on the background blocks, but due to work, that's as far as I've gotten. Your blocks continue to inspire me to get back with mine, but until I have all my commissioned quilts finished for Christmas, I'll keep them in the background. I plan to do all of mine with machine applique'. I hope they end up looking as well as yours.
Hugs
