    I think the blocks are lovely, but should be set off by sashing.

    Maybe you could pick up a green tone on tone shade that blends with your focus fabric to use for the sashing.

    Then the effect would be of individual plants growing in a plot or yard.

    I don't think I would use brown for dirt :?

    With the red and blue print, what if you turned the squares so the white roses are in the center and the red ones toward the outside? The other looks fine to me, but I would also put sashing in between.

    The blocks are lovely and I like the kaliedoscope look. Probably a solid color or a tone-on-tone would anchor the blocks.

    These are beautiful flower fabrics and I agree with most of the gals that sashing with frame the blocks and make them pop. Can't wait to see pictures once they're sashed. Happy Quilting :D :D :D

    I think it depends on what you're looking for. The pattern is difficult to see with so much floral, however the fabric is beautiful.

    Love the fabric but I think you lose that they are blocks. I think this would look beautiful as an attic window quilt with each of the smaller blocks. Would break up the business and outline each one. Really make the flowers and colors POP.
