    I can't help you with your current project, as I've never tackled anything that intricate.

    Thank you!
    I mentioned Creative Log Cabin Quilting in a reply on another post... but I didn't send any emails or PMs about it, so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for. :?: :?: :?:

    I agree about the large flowered one, but then again, with the small pieces it may be just fine, or you may not recognize it as a flower.

    On the left picture maybe you could trade the 7th and 9th from the left for darker fabrics but I love them all.

    Cut a Square the size of your pieces for the quilt and audition that way. (either cardbord or plastic, just to see what colr you would cut from the fabric.) You may end up with several color variations on the large prints, which may not be what you want.

    I vote with Jeaninmaine. All your colors are great, but you need to throw in some darks to create the dramatic transitions.
