Stash Fabrics solids – Oct 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I received the stack of solids I ordered, so it was back to Flower #1<\/a> for more changes. you might remember how much I worked on making incremental, small changes the first time around. I have been looking at it as I sewed Flower #2 and still wasn’t 100% happy. <\/p>\n

I decided to pick out some solids and see if I could make Flower #1 look better. I started off with a vast improvement<\/a> over the original. Adding some more greens made the block much more interesting. I decided that there was too much solid pink, so I replaced some of the solid pink with some Emerald. The Emerald is about halfway down the stack in the photo above.<\/p>\n

I put the Emerald in the corners on the bottom right and top left. I want to make incremental changes to so I can see what it happening. It is amazing how the replacement of two little pieces makes a huge difference. <\/p>\n

The edges were looking better, so I decided to work on the center. I replaced some of the pink with Dragonfruit, a darker pink.<\/p>\n

I liked the change, but it wasn’t quite enough. Each change I make highlights another area that needs attention!<\/p>\n

\"Country<\/a>

Once I made the change by adding the Dragonfruit, I thought it needed more. I cut another couple of pieces to end up with more dark pink in the middle.<\/p>\n

After looking at v.6 for awhile, I decided that this was the final version. Maybe it isn’t perfect. Maybe it could be better, but I like it. I think there isn’t anywhere that is too boring or too repetitive. Even the bottom left and top right corners light pink works. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, I decided that the Emerald needed to be toned down a little. I like that fabric and the color, but for this block, I needed something a little more subtle. I decided to change the Emerald for Dark Citron. <\/p>\n

I started sewing the block together and it is looking good.<\/p>\n
