No problem for the hijack, ladies. I agree, I don't think I will EVER do another Pam Bono design. Doing it as a BOM helped keep it manageable. That is also why I am trying to decide if I want to do the complicated pieced flower border or keep it simple and just put flowers in the corners. Thanks for all the kind words.

Here are a few more of the finished blocks. If you go back and look at the fleur de lis at the beginning of the post you can see how many more pieces it has than these do.

Surely have enjoyed looking at the additional blocks, but after seeing them, I have to ask another question:
Are Pam Bono patterns not a favorite because of the technique she uses to get the look?
I have seen some pattern books that make you feel like you have been blasted back to the dark ages because the techniques are so ... passe! I like the inspiration, but their techniques STINK!
Is that the problem with a Pam Bono pattern? This is not the first place I have heard discouraging words regarding this "artist". <wave>

I can't take credit for the color choices, as the blocks were packaged kits from LQS, all batik solids. The technique is mostly just tedious with so many small pieces to cut, keep track of, and then piece. I spent this evening cutting out the pieces for the floral border. {sigh}
