The pattern is Aurora Borealis, by Susie Ledadom. So sorry that I forgot to put that in the original post.
When I only had dark blocks made, it really looked gloomy to me, so I added a few lighter blocks. The one yellow/ gold at the top is not the same fabric line, and it may be replaced. But it does brighten it up a bit! The blocks with 3 diff fabrics are my faves, but I don’t think this line of fabric has enough contrast....I may try again when I make more blocks.
Thanks again....always good to get unbiased feedback!
It's a lovely quilt. Have the DIL come over and arrange the blocks for you. and have some "border" fabric there so she can see it without, and with a border. And wow on renovating an old farm house. You'll have to share some photos of before and after - if they are willing to share with us.
