Wow, those blocks are looking great Iceblossom! They remind me of Judy Martin's book Scrap Quilts, in that they really *work* together. Yes, the color combinations of a few blocks are not quite to my tastes *on their own*, but when you put them together the similarities and differences between the blocks make them all look better. Good choices! (And compliments to Bonnie Hunter for providing some guidance on selecting a color palette.)
