Ok after digging through all the color articles I could find I know what is bothering me about the fabrics. The green background fabric and the black background of the kimono fabric are going to cause them both to receed so the kimono won't pop like I want it too. So I either use somekind of misty color for the back for contrast or change the kimono focus fabric. Which would basically mean starting all over. Does that sound right?

If you mess up while stitching around the applique just pull out the seam ripper and carefully tear out the stitches and then knot what is left in the back so it doesn't run. What other kinds of Quilting nightmares are you having?

I don't think you cut up the panel. It seems as though you should trace all the pieces onto fusible web like Steam a Seam then fuse that onto the fabric where it is suppose to go. Am I right you all? Very, very pretty panels.

Your absolutely right those are the two fabrics that have to change. But I've looked all day and just can not find anthing I like. I'm going to take a break and work on my current block to try and clear my mind.
If any of you see an olive green tinted material or something that would work with the parasol I'd really apprecate a holler.
BTW the website I got the panels from is listed on one of the earlier pages 3 I think.
