With the last one, you will see that I did have enough similar fabrics to mix them and make the outer flowers. On the other hand, if you have a a nice, mottled batik, or similar, you could achieve a very nice flower with just the one fabric. The flower fabric I used for the middle had a background that varied from pink, through yellow to green. It turns up as a leaf in Block 14
Leslie: WOW!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!! Did you do the embroidery by hand????

Auditioning this way might help you come to a decision, or at least decide whether to go for a dark background, or a light one. And don't forget, there is still plenty of time to change your mind too!

Yes there is plenty of time for us to change our minds, and I already have!!! I got the book and since looking at all of the pictures (I was disappointed in the stitching in the book too... but I'm over it!) I've decided that my unbleached muslin and autumn batiks is no longer the way to go. I've decided to make this quilt for my daughter - I've rearranged the layout to make my 36 blocks into a twin size - and I am planning a white background with pinks and purples the predominant colors in the applique. My daughter just turned three and is in a toddler bed now - I will give her this when it is time for her to move into a twin size. I decided that although the colors do really pop on the black background, it's not really right for a little girl's bedroom. Besides, we have a white cat that likes to camp out on her bed...

That is the plan.... for now.... June is a long way away!
