It's darling fabric, but IMHO it doesn't work with the rules that have been laid out.
Thanks!

Jan I like the gingerbread guys ! In fact I have some that I got to fussy cut for the center of my second block. I am at work but when I get home will post pics. I hope the gingerbread ones are ok :?

I love the newest blocks ya'll have done.. these quilts are going to be so pretty!!
Jan...As far as the gingerbread, I think it'd go great. These blocks are so tiny that even if there was a little blue in there you wouldn't be able to pick it out. The reds, greens, and creams, etc will make it read just as another Christmas color..
sharon.. I can't wait to see your block.
If I could've I would've used my Lollystick fabric.. it's whimsical and has the cutest snowmen on it, but it had a blue background, something that I just couldn't hide..

Naturally they are both returning my money, but I have to re-order and wait for my software=delay in play time.

jan
as long as the fabric is in the colors scheme it will work with the other blocks.
besides every quilt should have a bit of whimsy.
if you look at the original Jane block J12 was put in side ways and, if she meant to or not, i think she did decide to leave it that way.
