Well I went to JoAnn's today and grabbed a couple FQs. I took out that funky purple diamond that was bothering me and also all the kelly green diamonds and replaced them with a cute purple butterfly and some darker, more like hunter green flowers.
I'm definitely liking it a lot better now. I'm debating whether to leave it as is or wait for my next alliance and get two more FQs...if I leave it as is it will probably need a relatively large border or two.

A couple suggestions: Can you find a lavender print? The solid lavender with all others being prints bothers me. Also when you are arranging them don't have two light valued prints right next to each other. They end up blending together and you lose their edges. Another thing and I have trouble not doing this too, look at your fabric combinations from 10 or more feet away. Constantly looking at your fabric choices up close, gives a different appearance than from far away. Colors blend together and become a new different color, when looking at a print from 10+' away.
