The book gives a really good lesson on how to choose fabrics. The mirrors really can help you decide if you like the look of what will result.

I love this fabric. I love your project.
I noticed that you have several "lookalike" blocks there. If you want to avoid that when you have a short repeat fabric, just before you come to the repeat, take an inch and make a strip. Your blocks will not be the same and you will get much more variation.
I used this fabric to make my DD some pillow cases and accented the fabric with bright yellow and purple. Came out great. I also took a long strip of it and put it on her sheets at the top. Looks coordinated and really pretty too. Easy Peasy.
