Well, I guess the lesson is: go with your first thought! I had always intended to go with the mix of solids and prints, but second guessing myself led me down the wrong road! Good point about the scale, Moonpi! Thanks for everyone's input! I found this pattern in "Fast Folded Flowers" by Laura Farson. It is a section of the Big Book of Quilting, which I purchased at Costco a number of years ago.
