    oh and did I say this is absolutely beautiful !!!!
    I checked them against each other when I got the other cut in and they are virtually identical, I couldn't tell that they were from a different dye lot.

    Is it hard to you to show a picture for your all in all fabrics u going to use in? i know u r busy but it's nice to get some experience. :roll:
    Sure, here's a pic of all the fabrics that I'm pulling from for this one. Most of the remainder of the blocks will have some of those reds in them for the flower heads and buds. There are a couple of blocks that use the darker purples for that, such as the first one I posted.

    Also, here's the next block, this one is called "Coxcomb". The colors are a little off in this pic, the urn isn't as dark as what it looks like in the pic. This is another of the blocks with the deep faded purples for flower heads, the next ones will be the deep reds. I haven't stitched this one down yet, it is only fused in place at this point.

    And here's the two blocks on the design wall side by side so you can kind of start seeing what it's going to look like together. Like I said above, though, the remaining blocks (except 1) will have some deep reds in the flower heads and buds, so these two are the exception rather than the rule to the overall color scheme.

    Hi Eddie, I'm new to this forum. In fact, I'm new to sewing, and quilting. I love the design of your quilt, but I really love the white background fabric. What is it if you don't mind me asking?
