    What about this one? I could do different blocks with the matching fabrics

    A bit of red would be perfect for all those fabrics. Just maybe scattered through out.

    I like this choice too. Following up on the suggestion to add some red as an accent color I'd be inclined to maybe add some lime since you're doing leaves. Can't wait to see it!

    So i did a "version" of it, and turns out I don't have enough fabric to do more ... so this is what it looks like:

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]606398[/ATTACH]

    I will quilt it with a contrasting colour (likely red LOL) so that something pops.

    I did however discover the irish chain quilt, so I think I'm going to make a small one with the left over fabric that I have!

    Thanks

    Tartan, I'm glad, because I'm not overly thrilled with it LOL I did to the blanket stitch applique around the peels in red thread ... I took the rest of the fabric and made 9 patch squares with them, I'm going to do a mini irish chain. It will be a practice run for a bigger one ... can't believe I've never done one of those before LOL
