    Absolutly beautiful!I would keep at it and as others said a shashing will make it perfect! I am still searching for the right fabric to make one of these.

    You can always test it by making a window the size of your finished block, 1/4 of the posy and see if you get design or solid color. Put two mirrors at an angle and reflect the square to see if it gives you enough design. Even one mirror will help you see.

    Some computer literate people or people with a copy machine, take one square, copy it four times and see what they have when they assemble the posy. Or you could copy a paper sized piece of your fabric and cut out your finished size and assemble several.

    They certainly are beautiful. I would think any of the florals would work. They sure are pretty

    BrendaM's quilt is so, so beautiful and I really like the idea of treating the sashing as she did and using green as a part of that sashing. Thank you.

    I guess we all agree. It needs sashing -but what? My thoughts are maybe the palest of the greens that are in both.

    They are pretty. I agree, sashing would set them off, especially a green.

    They are beautiful. I did one for MIL out of very similar fabric, had the same worry, sashed with a solid and it was one of my favorites when done.
