I think it would be very pretty if you continue with this color way, but then I am partial to pink/reds of all shades. For a young girl, it would be perfect with the red/pink theme as you have made it.
Is anyone still up? I could use some input.
Here are 2 blocks ready to assemble. Do you think I should continue with this color way and alternate the blocks? Should I make the blocks all the same for the whole quilt? Should I do it more scrappy and use more colors? I could add blues and greens to the mix.
I had to make a secret board on pinterest for this so I don't have to worry about my niece seeing it. LOL

I think it looks awesome just the way you have it! I'd use both blocks, then save your green for a border. Maybe add another strip of the pink after the green and bind with the other pink or the print. Cute quilt it will be, I'm sure she will love it

Bluebonnets: That's terrific! Love that border, it adds so much to the quilt. Congrats on the finish.
Pam: Love what you are doing. That fabric is perfect for that application, its so much fun that it would be a waste to cut it up so that you couldn't see the details.
My #10 is scrappy but as the various blocks emerged I have favorites that I think would make a beautiful quilt all on their own. Hope to experiment with that one day. Generally I love anything that creates a visual lattice, just something very appealing to me.

Thanks for all the input, everyone. This is the 3rd baby girl quilt I have used this fairy fabric in. It is really looking like Swiss cheese now!
I love the lattice look in quilts, too!
Here's a pic of how I used this fabric in the first 2 quilts.
