Kassaundra, your fabric choices are intriguing. Can't wait to see more of your piecing for this quilt. Love the out-of-the-box thinking. You are much braver than me. I'm still more of a "controlled scrappy" person even though I've made several of Bonnie's quilts.

I love that fabric and think it gives it some extra interest, so I really want to keep it. Please tell me what you think? With or without the green toy fabric? My fabrics are all FQ and scraps, but the dark greens are at least a yard each. I hope my pictures didn't load the size of a house here!

Kassaundra , wow! That red and black combination really stands out. If you flip the triangle squares you'll have a star like in Bonnie's Cathedral Stars pattern.
Quilting Vagabond, I love your Cathedral Stars colors. So pretty!
Thank goodness I picked up the Tri Recs rulers when they were on sale at Joann's. Celtic Solstice is on my "some day" list. Never thought I'd need it so soon.

Finished my triangles in a square. Whew. They about cleaned out my neutrals. So, I guess that's it for those?

QuiltingVagabond, definitely the center magenta. No contest there, for how I'd choose. Your polka dot fabric in the dark purples pile is too similar to the left and right magenta choices. The left one, the flowers, is too close in value to your light purples to contrast with them alot. Bonnie's color palette is a complete contrast. You could use the print on the right if you want more pattern, but if so, then I'd eliminate the polka dot fabric.
