The solids are great, but I would add lots of blenders to match. Remember what you see in nature. The flowers are not all solid. You need to have shadows to help add movement. That being said I like Moda solids and all the Moda marbles, stars and swirls. Also all the fabric Moda makes matches their marbles and solids. I also like Robert Kaufman fabrics. Batiks are nice but a little harder on my hands for applique. It will be a lot of applique. I have used Fabric.com a lot. Most times I am very happy with my selections. Colors can vary on line with your monitor. Enjoy the process.
