Ok ... just 2 havent voted and we have a majority of 11 liking the both ...

so we'll mix it up ...

Contemporary or more traditional floral centres with colours to suit but PLEASE  ... No in your face Bright Solid Primaries !!!

I'll send you all a link to the tutorial in a PM ....

As ever click on the I icon (top left corner) on your laptop, 3 bars/buttons on a phone to bring up the destructions to the side of each individual pic.

Please DO READ through  the WHOLE tutorial before you start to cut or sew, especially if you are relatively new to The Darkside and if you are at all unsure PRACTICE with some unimportant fabric.

Accurate cutting and good pressing will help soooo much ... and do remember that White on White fabric is printed with a plasticised substance that shows pin holes more than a woven fabric and can discolour if pressed with a very hot iron.

@Iminei can the final border be a light floral or does it have to be more of a solid?
I’m a fabricholic on the road to recovery. Just kidding. I’m on the road to the fabric store.

I'm away on holiday from 10-20 November, but will have a sewing week (without OH around) from 21-27 November.
I will make the test blocks and actual block that week before I do my other planning sewing.

Slightly confused about the white on white fabric. Do we all have to use it? I don't have a large stash and there isn't any in it.

@Iminei can the final border be a light floral or does it have to be more of a solid?

I hope patterned is ok for the border as only one of my four border fabrics is a true solid and the block is in the post now!  :o

@Sheilago  ... @Diane  ... as long as it reads as a colour that's fine ... you will see in the  traditional block that the darker green I chose in the end is actually a patterned fabric

@Starryfish  ... I shall send you some if you'd like ? I have your address.

We've all voted and the result is that a mix is fine. Just please make sure your coloured fabrics arent in your face primaries!

@Bill maybe because when we reply to all, that is 19 recipients hence 2 in an hour would exceed the limit  :\
