I too was so unhappy with the yellow squares. No matter what I auditioned, I hated them. So I had a piece of batik leaves in lots of shades of yellow with a bit of brown, and they are perfect. So now I am a happy camper, because I just said "Self, stop agonizing over your hibiscus" and went ahead and cut into something in my stash and made my blocks. Now I am trying to understand BH's pressing instructions. Don't know why I can't wrap my head around it. Seems as if each block's rows are sewed in 2 directions. Sigh .......
