All your blocks are really beautiful. Once I had sewn the centre piece in place, I realized that the fabric was to pretty to "cover" with the applique in the centre. I have put minimal silk ribbon embroidery on instead. My "signature" on all my quilts is a fan and a silk ribbon flower so this block is the silk flower. Topaz-Spain

Michelle, that is gorgeous! I love how you just take the blocks as a "suggestion" and make them your own. You are so right about that fabric...way too pretty to cover! You and Elle with that silk ribbon embroidery...its lovely!

Donna, I love your block! The colors are fabulous and I really like your embroidery idea. Looks great.

Michelle, I would have hated to hide that fabric, too! It is fun to see everyone's creative ideas. I never would have thought to use silk ribbon -- brilliant!

Michele, absolutely gorgeous,love it.

Elle

Very feminine - lovely.

Donna, Your block is stunning. Real rich colors.

I agree your center is lovely. Great block.

Michelle,
When you told us you have severe arthritis and would be struggling, I had no idea you would come up with such creative alternatives! Your signature on this quilt is such a nice touch and adds to the block rather than detract from that beautiful center.

oh my gosh! michelle...that is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's floral, it's cottagey, it's floral...lol...it's got deep pinks...its gorgeous...it's cottagey...ahhhh!

Thank you very much for your generous comments. Topaz-spain
