Thank you once again for the great response, this is what makes all of you so special. You inspire me to get on and get this one completed. It is an enormous journey as this will be 250x250cm (double bed size) and the blocks are 50x50 cm each and there are 25 blocks in all.

Really enjoying the close-ups - feel a trifle guilty though, because snapping pics and posting is taking you away from your project
. I think I would have a huge problem with diversity.....which you seem to have sorted....your elements work really well together but you have so much going on...love the wheat sheaves and the tractor and the "rainbow wreath" bit around the white roses.

Thanks so much for the close-ups, your blocks are great! What a wonderful quilt you'll have when you're done. I tried to do one when I was a kid, but messed up royally, I didn't realize you could use less than the whole 6 strands of floss so I did all this labor intensive stitching and it looks lke a 10 year old did it (I think I was in my 20's at the time, way before the internet). I still look at it and cringe every time I accidentally run across it. You, definitely won't have that problem. I like the beadwork you've done, it's going to be beautiful.
