babeyruth,
Great comments, thank you. I do intend to flip the FG on the right side. What you don't see is it is all one long strip that is partially hidden under the sewing machine block. I have to wait to see how everything lines up after I do my applique stitching on the three little blocks and join their components together before I cut into it.
Last night I flipped the HST over that are above the machine. Amazing how much color it put into the row.
I am another that plans on sending along some fabric with my row. I may also send the drawings for the remaining sampler blocks should anyone want to do anything with those.
What I don't want to do is stiffle anyone's creativity so no one is expected to use anything that comes in the packet.
I am so looking forward for the opportunity to work on a 'modern' quilt. Such clean colors and lines. I'm stoked waiting for it to come my way. Love what you've done.
best,
