I didn&#8217;t have much of it left and it was about the only color that went with these soft muted colors. At Julie&#8217;s suggestion I added a small strip of Tilde pink to get a little more length. I didn&#8217;t think it went with the April Cornell fabrics, but Julie said it picked up some of the darker pinks in some of the flowers. It is a little big strange looking for a top, but hopefully someone will like it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67296\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67296\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250722_181046_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-67296\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250722_181046_wm-sm-300x280.jpg\" alt=\"April Cornell Poetry Collection donation back\" width=\"300\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250722_181046_wm-sm-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250722_181046_wm-sm-768x716.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250722_181046_wm-sm.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-67296\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">April Cornell Poetry Collection donation back<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The back was much harder.
