All your blocks are really beautiful. Once I had sewn the centre piece in place, I realized that the fabric was to pretty to "cover" with the applique in the centre. I have put minimal silk ribbon embroidery on instead. My "signature" on all my quilts is a fan and a silk ribbon flower so this block is the silk flower. Topaz-Spain

Michelle, that is gorgeous! I love how you just take the blocks as a "suggestion" and make them your own. You are so right about that fabric...way too pretty to cover! You and Elle with that silk ribbon embroidery...its lovely!

Donna, I love your block! The colors are fabulous and I really like your embroidery idea. Looks great.
Michelle, I would have hated to hide that fabric, too! It is fun to see everyone's creative ideas. I never would have thought to use silk ribbon -- brilliant!

Michelle,
When you told us you have severe arthritis and would be struggling, I had no idea you would come up with such creative alternatives! Your signature on this quilt is such a nice touch and adds to the block rather than detract from that beautiful center.
