I worked yesterday and bought some of my fabrics...the rest I will get on a shop hop in a couple of weeks. I am making the 10" blocks with the thought that I might make a few 4" with scraps if I am feeling ambitious.
I am going to alter the pattern and not put the solid blocks between the pp's ones. Instead I will use 2 different sashing fabrics...something like this:

I am still going to put the blocks on point though. I plan to use the red here and I am going to look for an orange/rust...I was going to use the one I have in the above picture, but when looking at the whole fabric, there is more red and green than I want in the sashing. I want to go lighter for more contrast.
The large flower will be my outer border. The dark green will be the setting triangles. I will be looking for something that is primarily the blue/green color for another "print" and whatever else I find that might go with it.
I will be cutting and maybe even sewing my first block tomorrow! I figure since I am so far behind with my PC blocks that maybe I can keep up with these. Of course I will keep working on PC too, don't worry it is not going in a UFO box!!
