Beautiful fabric, and you used it to perfection! I agree that stitch-in-the-ditch would be great for the pieced blocks. Maybe square in a square for the floral blocks to sort of 'echo' the center of the pieced blocks, but not as much detail. Even easier, if you're worried about so many straight lines, just cross hatch the floral blocks, and the eye would be drawn to the pieced blocks that you worked so hard on!

Thank you for comments again.
Marbear, no pattern - but it took me forever to come up with something because I had bought the fabric in 2006 (Hancocks Paducah) and of course not enough. But I managed to find some in UK in a sale last year to top it up.
I only know of one retailer who still has it there,

but of course it is expensive in UK.
Conblond, what a shame for you - the perfume is the best isn't it - that and lily-of-the-valley.
