    Thanks. What blocks? Are you talking about the other quilts that I made? The other two that I linked to are finished quilts. I suppose you could make one large quilt out of all the blocks in her series, but they finish with different measurements so they'd need to be sashed or something. The blocks take so much work and are so intricate, personally I think they need to stand on their own;>

    Candace, they are all stunning; I like this one best, also, not just because of the bright tropical flowers, but they seem to look even more realistic than the iris & daffies. Do you choose the colors/fabrics?

    I don't paper piece very well ... more of a challenge than you can imagine. (I have a hard time getting things going in the right direction, in general, not just PP) but now my curiosity is aroused about Eileen Sullivan so am about to do some on-line research.

    Lovely work! Thanks for showing us.

    I did go look at Eileen Sullivan's catalog. In addition to the 3 you've done, her English Roses, Poinsettias, and Dogwood Blossoms are enchanting. I'm still absolutely fascinated by your fabric color accuracy. Howdja do that?

    You did a great job! I can hardly wait to see it finished. Eileen's patterns are fun, aren't they? Especially when they are done, LOL.

    I used some from my stash and visited my LQS to pick up some more green FQ's that I needed. I ended up buying more than I needed of course, to make sure I had the right colors. You know how it is. You need 3 FQ's and come home with 8.

    You've got that right.
