I love most of your color choices. The one that jumps out at me a little is the tone-on-tone black. I would like to see it with a solid dark blue instead.

I am going to be doing by hand, because I am currently at Ft. Dix, NJ due to medical issues and I do not have my machine. I was going to buy another cheap machine,, but,, that means I have to lug it around with me,, lol

I am making just this one, for now. A fellow solider is here and seriously hurt. And she can not have flowers in her room, so I offered to make her one,, I am hoping to make her a lap quilt,, or maybe a wall hanging. But,, for now,, just this one,,, but when I do the others (wall hanging or lap quilt) I will be using oranges, reds, blues, pinks, purples,,,,,

Love the colors - the only thing I am wondering about is whether the bottom background piece is big enough not to cut off that purple point.
