    I rather use a large-scale print for the vase but chose this one for clear color. And this forced me to use fabrics read as solid for red and orange petals.

              Month 4, decided to make a nine patch as center pieced block for a little less fussy. The Dresden center seemed to be bossy on my quilt. I’ll decide later if I will not use the Dresden’s. I do like the happy surprise of the white four petal flowering look on the alternate blocks. So exciting to see everyone’s progress.

                Wow! I LOVE your interpretation of the quilt design and the colors are just so soothing! Are you using Japanese taupes?

                Yes, Japanese wovens for most of the fabrics

                Pamela, Maybe you think your Dresden is bossy because it is all of the dark gray colors ( reads more solid looking) You could
                audition a lighter color version, or a variety of values of color in it, or maybe the colors you used for
                the flowers in the the vases to bring those colors to the pieced blocks. I always audition a bunch of
                color combo's and often find the one I least expect to like, is the one that looks best when viewed
                with the rest of the quilt. Whatever you do will be beautiful, you have a real talent for combining
                fabrics. Looking for to seeing you finished quilt. It will be a real winner!!! HelenW

              I just finished my filler block. I decided to do the block without the dresden plate in the center..

                    Decided to change it up a bit but still use my West African fabrics. 2 approaches. Will gift them as smaller pieces. Still enjoying this process
