Looks great, Jan. Love the pink-on-pink.
Anna, I am choosing to follow the color scheme, more or less. Not everyone is. All the quilts will be beautiful because the blocks are so nice. I love seeing different color schemes like yours. I'm just not that great at picking them for myself.
I haven't even thought about size or layout, just making one of each block for now. I guess I can make more later if I need/want to. I don't know who my quilt might be for... maybe my son who loves history? And I didn't even notice the border. I need to go back and look!
