I am sorry to hear you have shingles please take good care i believe shingles can be stressful. Looks like mine will be a folk art quilt instead :):(
I do it. All the time, button style is more folk art, so. If that is ok with you go for it

I almost changed to the folk art style with button hole but had started with needle turn. I came down with shingles this last weekend and on the face of all places, and of course, by the eye so have to take it even slower. button hole would speed it up for me a bit. perhaps with the center in needleturn, and then do the rest in button hole. Glad to see that it is "acceptable" to do it with mixed styles. Not that I always do the "acceptable" thing. LOL

I'm still behind on this first block. I had a challenge quilt deadline to meet last week so I'm just this week getting started on this block. The first applique quilt I did, they suggested I not go back and redo blocks as I got better so I would always know how much I had improved. I did do some redoing on the blocks as I worked on them and have already redone a couple of leaves on this block but if one does too much redoing nothing gets done.

Kim,
You aren't late - its the first block! I didn't start until late last week and finished my block on Saturday. Use any colors you want - there certainly is precedence for using dark backgrounds in Baltimore album (BA) style quilts. Many BA quilts were made with only red and green fabrics so most of us are rather "out of the ordinary" when we use lots of colors - and there certainly weren't any batiks in early BA quilts. Part of the fun I see in doing this BOM is that we all start with the same pattern and then make it our own - the differences are all amazing and beautiful.
