I love the color green - so I am very biased - I think something with pink/green - small floral would be nice.

Did you paper piece this? Lovely!

Yep, sure did. It's one of Carol Doak's patterns.

I have quite a bit. Would you like more?

I'd match the dark pink for the borders and the back whatever that you've got that has either green or pink as the dominant color.

I was having a hard time picturing it in my head, so I put the green border on. My husband likes it. Here is another picture.

I really like it with the green border. I'd probably look for a small pink & white floral for the backing.

What pattern is that? Is it a free pattern? I love those colors, too. How about a little darker green for the border and something with more pattern but not too large. Use the same for the backing and binding.

It's the Cross My Heart block by Carol Doak. You can find it in the freebie section of her website.
