    I ought to be able to find something similar that appeals to me. At least the vase and flowers now is one that I like more the more I see it, not like the teddy bear where I liked it less.
    I KNOW there is a cow in there somewhere!
    Cows are good <g>
    Actually there is a TINY, TINY sheep in the fabric. :lol:

    I ordered the red as the border.

    never mind the teddy bear, I will do one of those, but let's get on with your choices.
    I just looked at your pic with first vase...again this morning...was looking last night. I think some flowers in a vase would be really nice, but to me, this is not quite the right one, for some reason.
    It's got to do with the stars...they are bold, and I think these flowers are thin-ish. I like the idea of some rounder curves in center, but don't care for the droopi-ness of the two outer flowers. You need a picture, that says, hey, look at me, without, taking completely over.
    honest opinion, none of these are IT. they're ok, to go with something else, but those stars need...I don't get a lot of good color with this monitor either, so maybe i'm off track.
    now, i'm really curious to see what you pick! :roll:

    You've heard of a Turtle Dove? Well, this is an Eagle Dove. Top secret genetic experiment and my quilt is going to blow the whole thing wide open and expose it to the world!! :lol:

    Yeah, I know what you mean about the curves of the vase versus the angular blocks. That's one reason I like it but, on the other hand it's a reason that it doesn't quite go.

    I agree 100% with mammabird! Your quilt is lovely ,

    How about this then? Adds the stars to the flowers and it's angular.

    you know what, joyce, your right! I copied and pasted the one above, and went back to page 1 to compare...I was thinking of a different pic, when I said, too droopy. Ok, here we go again...like the first one.
    yup, that's it. and that's my final offer...till next time, lol! :wink:

    Could you copy the two birds on the trees in the red border fabric? That might look nice. Or the house with the two trees next to it (also in the red border fabric).
