That is captivating!!
So pretty!!!

Diagonals sound great. Think it would draw the attention right to the center.
Can't wait to see it finished.

Beautiful job on the flower block. Looks so real. I don't know about the quilting but someone else will have the answer for that

Oh, I know Silverlinings. They have wonderful PP patterns. I haven't done any, but I have printed lots of their free patterns.

Thank you for sharing that! Dani

not at all....It it the Rocky Mountain Columbine, state flower of Colorado.

I ordered it from http://www.silverliningsoriginals.com/

They have beautiful patterns, not only of flowers but birds and animals.

I really enjoy PP and find the decision about quilting the most difficult too. Your work is exceptional!

Great job you did on that fabulous flower!! Thanks for the link too, it gave me a pattern I was looking for - an elephant!! looking to design a quilt for my DGS and he loves elephants! I agree with the echo quilting on this, would make it pop even more. Please let us see a finished picture when you have quilted it and framed it.

This is beautiful....I LOVE it!!!
I am a huge fan of paper piecing.
I think line coming out from the flower would look good. Kind of like rays of sunshine.

I would love to be able to machine quilt but it just isn't one of my talents !!!!!!!!

How would diagonal stitching from the flower out to all edges look?

Any suggestions gladly accepted. Thanks.........mj

OH wow MJ that is amazing I have done a little bit of PP but that looks so hard I know I would mess that up. You did a great job.
