Thank you, Stitches23! Your fabrics are just beautiful, and your arrangement of the Alternate block makes perfect sense given your fabrics. I've looked at lots of photos on Quiltville, and I think you'll find the sashing in the Lupine Star block makes more sense in a darker color with your darker fabrics. I don't care for the darker sashings with Bonnie's palette, but they look very good when other fabrics are dark.
