I am starting a BOM at the Ben Franklin in Monroe, WA. It is an Aunt Grace Circle of Friends pattern from Bloom Creek. I thought I would put the kitty in the middle, then the other blocks around the outside. I have more repro's in my stash. I am trying to make sure I have some different scales of fabrics, also enough contrast. I think it will be primarily pink and blue with some others if I think I need them! Let me know if you have any other ideas. We are making pinwheels as we go along too, for the the borders.

Love the kitty.
Not sure of the pattern though, will have to look it up. Good luck!

I guess you picked the blue because of the blue kitty center block. If so, the blue might work. I like the small touches of red in the two fabrics just to move away from all the pinks. The first pink greek-looking print doesn't blend well to me. I like it the least...jmho....
