If you are talking about just the applique that you have shown, it is perfect. You did a really nice job.

not too much applique. but my design suggestion would be to make the hearts 3 different sizes getting larger leaving the flowers. as you have it, the hearts are confused with the butterflies as they are the same size. otherwise, i love it!

Thank You to eveyone for the advice. and wonderful comments. To answer your question
Kind of. I got the center panel off of the fabshop hop blog but I added the scappy borders. This is actually just a start because it needs to be king size. I am just winging it as I go.. I think the next round needs to be solid or large blocks with the same background in a light color. I really dont want to buy any fabric if I dont have to and I have alot of the White with small red hearts that I used in the center. I was thinking about using it on the next round. I am struggling with knowing exactly what I want and what block to make.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You really do beautiful 'winging' it!! So creative! And I always have issues getting my borders to come out right, when I try it! Your's are perfect!! Keep posting photos as you go! :) :)
