    Keep in mind this is my opinion. I guess a lot of us have done it wrong, using potential fussy cuts, including PaintMeJudy, our Leader for this group.

    Oh Honchey ... a beautiful bunch, just as I suspected! Looks like you have enough fabrics to make two ... or three ... or four ... or more!!!! How about every block made with a different combo?

    SunliteNSmiles ... *pat* *pat* *pat* ... good girl, for tackling the PhD/fabric! Much better results, than if it'd been the PhD/man, don't you think?

    That is why I asked. I knew I would get an honest yet kind answer. TY QuiltE for 2nd confirmation. I do love this board. I'll have to wait again to start as I'm far from any quilt stores.

I was thinking of combining them in a way using all the fabrics with 2 focus and then opposite accents to create a larger quilt???
