    Looks good to me, I like your idea and how you put together all different blocks, thanks for sharing.

    I have two boxes like that. One for orphan blocks I have collected and one for designs I made with my embroidery machine.
    If I ever get to it the embroidery one should be rather interesting. I have designs ranging from flowers to Native American patterns, redwork butterflies to motorcycles and guns.

    Alot of my orphan blocks are used to make little barbie quilts from the grand daughters. After all even Barbie needs a quilt to go with all her other stuff...lol

    I LIKE IT. It says "Look at me, I'm bigger than all the others". Keep it in there. The quilt is wonderful. Barny

    Do some fancy quilting in the lavender area. I agree with others that the top is busy enough without adding applique or something else. I like it as it is. JMHO

    I think your quilt is pretty, and the lavender square gives the eye a place to rest for a moment with all the movement that goes on in there. Great job

    Really cute! I would probably just put some fancy stitching on the lavender, maybe in a dark colored thread to make it stand out.
