If the chalk outline is 10 inches, it will be Falling Layer Cake and an original. :) Aren't layer cake squares 10 inches? I think the outlines pictures have enough turquoise to contrast with the purple pin dot.

Was going to suggest the same thing.

I agree there is no such thing as too much purple.

I had posted earlier how these would look together I agreed with the fussy cut but still have too much purple and tried two different outlines hope you can see them[ATTACH=CONFIG]444074[/ATTACH]I traced 5x5 chalk outlines so how would that look doing 10x10 block instead of 5x5, of course it wouldn't be falling charms LOL! back to first base ;)

LOVE THE FABRIC. I missed the other post. If I had the fabric, I would use a pattern called BQ2. It would be perfect with this fabric. PM me if you have any questions!

Had to look this pattern up yep I agree it would be a great pattern for this purple-delicious fabric!

I'd go with a border in while, and then a thin strip of black. It is to "inky", but black and while will fix it!

I love purple-I would go with black around each square and maybe a boarder of the aqua around each black boarder- Black would be 2" and the aqua 1.5" this just a suggestion-do what ever you feel like doing-it will look great.

I agree I think I would add a third colour. It wouldn't make it so purplely.

Love the colors! :) Maybe add a bit of white, and some pink-?

I like the second square. It is less 'planned' looking without a flower close to center. In fact, I would cut them all just a tad different, with maybe just one with a center flower but not placing that square in the center of the quilt, either. Never too much purple.

While purple is not my favorite color - I really like these together.....If it is at all possible, I would introduce some of the teal color (maybe a mode marble?) and some of the bright pink...........I like the last pic you posted best for the fussy cut..... Keep pics coming to show your progress......I think this is going to be beautiful!!
