I'm not sure I have enough for the whole quilt, but I love that print too. It's called "back yard party," there are also turtles, bugs and butterflies on the print along with various leaves and plants. I ordered it from hawthorne threads, here's a link to the collection http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabr.../backyard_baby . I also got some of the ant maze and birch forest prints. I love hawthorne threads. They seem to have some more unique prints, I have to force myself to stay away from there, that is somewhere I can get in HUGE trouble ha ha!

One other thing I have to rave about in regard to Hawthorne is that they are located in Upstate NY, and all their fabric designs are printed in their shop here. I love supporting USA and/or locally made products and their customer service is exceptional. If you haven't gotten anything from them, give them a try. I'm completely in love with their Coyote line of fabric. I bought the panel, but haven't decided how to use it yet, although I have some ideas ruminating.

Here is my second April. I guess I just don't like her much because I still hate it. Anyway, moving on.

This block may be just the one you need when you are putting the quilt top together...don't count it out yet...look at it from a distance and you can see how nicely the white star emerges...

I agree. I didn't like my first one either but after the redo I was better able to see the pattern emerge and I still love your fabrics. So pretty!

OK have to admit I like the fabric but not the square, doesn't help when u run out of fabric 3/4 the way through it, so the confused block becomes more confused, but my thoughts not quilt isever perfect, and no one but me will ever pay that much attention to each block lol

This one was pretty easy but question is the outer circle really supposed to connect?

I really like your color choices for April. The understudied fabrics seem to work better with the super busy piecing, and you nailed it. I don't think the outer circle was supposed to connect. That coral is so pretty.

I thought April was kind of an odd block--I like symmetry and this one is "off". I love the colors in your blocks and they show off the pattern nicely. Remember--there are 90+ blocks in this project so some of the ones you don't like will be sort of hidden in among the other blocks. Not all blocks can be Rock Stars--some have to be the Back-up Singers (think Gladys Knight & The Pips)--some blocks are just the Pips. Am I showing my age???
