just browsed through before adding mine- wow! what a great variety of fabulous blocks! it is always so fun to see how we all do something different with the same block and make them so *original/personal* I love projects like these! so, anyhow---here is mine- I plan to use the same light blue (settings) for all of my blocks- the interior will be scrappy-loosely following what each pattern calls for.
I love, love , love everyone's that has been posted not a one in the bunch that I would not like to own. They all are so beautiful and unique to each individual.
Here is my 1st block have not added the sides to make it a rectangle as not sure what color I want to use may wait till the end to make a decision on that part. Sticking with the suggested colors at this point the really dark color is actually purple but at least on my monitor it looks almost dark blue or even black.

Ok ... here's mine. Soooo different from the others. Can you tell I have a weakness for prints with gold??? You cant' see it in this pic, but even the green fabric has gold edging on each "branch"
I'll be using the same background fabric, and the same green fabric for the "leaf" part in all the blocks. As you can see I changed the color between each of the flowers to the leaf fabric to look like stems. I fussy cut medallions for the center of the flower. Fussy cutting is not so much fun when paper piecing!!

Here's my first block. Can you believe I created an inset seam for myself. Sometimes I TRY to make my life harder. You can bet I won't do that again.
Anyway, I tested it with my dinner plates and it should be the perfect size without adding anymore to the edges other than the binding, which I will do in black. I usually bite off more than I can chew, so this is really fun making something manageable! Can't wait to do my next placemat.
