My flash sure worked overly well. The fabrics aren't quite that bright....... Even though these are fall leaves, the berries sure look Poinsettia centers. I thought it would work from the start of fall all through to Christmas! I have fabrics for a Christmas tablecloth that I plan to make from this same pattern. The print is Poinsettias on a black background and I have both green and red with metallic flecks in them and a black with a small print in reds and greens. Still need something for a background yet. Somehow they will be worked into this block. Will design it now, but probably will not make it until later, maybe next year. I have the purple wedding quilt to make for newlyweds and another which will be a Bargello in aquas, blues and greens for an October wedding. The Bargello is packed up with pattern enclosed. I like to make up kits and add pattern so I don't forget what I was planning to do. There are also 2 or 3 other kits I have made up waiting for me to get started on them. They may have a long wait .......... I am too tempted by Mysteries. I did 5 last fall through New Years, working on them at the same time. I didn't get the parts mixed up even though chain-sewed 2 or 3 at a time.
As for the purples, I have 20 fabrics and have now picked out 5 that I hope will go together for that quilt - the next major project.
