As I was folding fabric, I thought to add to be sure to get the most medium colors, less darks and lights. Oftentimes in one block a floral will be used as a medium, but in another a dark, all depending on what came before. Also, there are a lot of pink florals out there, and pink and purple are my least favorite colors, so I'm careful to pass on them if I have a few. Finding good yellows, blues and oranges is more of a challenge. That's why I LOVE that one new one with the larger petals--it has orange, yellow, blue and purple.

First pic is of the new blocks.

Third is of one doll quilt and looks like I need to make more blocks to finish more. :D I have over 40 more blocks started, but finishing 12 at a time is more fun. I keep collecting fabric for these because I plan to make them between projects for as long as I can.
I'll get the tops done, then I may start that floral Bargello before completing more of these blocks.
