Emily, I think it's great. You're too hard on yourself.

I didn't enjoy doing this one as some of the others. I stuffed some polyster filling in the flowers to give it some pzazz - but there isn't mucb one can do, I think.

i think that the border they have will detract from my flowers on the dark background. i'm thinking i might do some kind of scalloping around it. we'll see.

Great job, Gini. I am currently working on this one. I am not enjoying this as much as some of the others. I don't know whether or not to do the border they give us. I might just sash the whole thing. I will see how I feel at the time.

kinnikinnick, gramma called it princess pine, it's a native shrub that has a similar flower.

nope it's a bushy plant. here are some pictures. it looks a lot like a native plant here we call princess pine, whose flowers are about 1/2 inch high.

heather is a member of this plant family

Gini, you did such a good job on this block. Your fabrics are perfect. Some day you're going to have to post pics of your stash. I bet it's incredible.
