Okay just my humble opinion on that block, I have learned that a lot of the time those little "uglies" add the sparkle and interest to a quilt. Sometimes I dont particularly like a block but it is just what the quilt needs. I think as long as the colors are used through out the quilt it will work.

Thanks Melissa, I will keep it till I have finished all the blocks and see how it either blends or sticks out like a "sore thumb" as we say.
Got another 2 to post which I will do later.

Thanks for your input it is appreciated.

Elle, your blocks are stunning!! I can't even pick a fav. I love Art Noveau and don't think I have ever seen a quilt like this. Can't wait to see your finished product.

Thank you Kathy, it is different and not to everyone´s taste, but I am so enjoying making these blocks.

Here are 2 more. this time used some of the original Batik and some I had of little snippets. Some pieces are just so small.

The three headed flower has been the most difficult so far as all the petals are separate. Enjoy

You certainly can my amiga. I am saving them for you. I think this one deserves to be hand sewn and I have been given some wonderful ideas.
Sometimes I lack ideas and need a push in the butt LOL

Thanks Honey, just pressed three more on to material and have to cut them out.

This is the easy part for me, the hand sewing may be a challenge. :D
