My progress on Block "B" has been slowed down by my gnat's attention span flitting off course to other things. But I did get a few of the blocks completed for you to see!
Although this above block is not sewn yet, it illustrates a color choice flaw that I'm experiencing with this block. Remember that when I chose to use Civil War browns in the place of Bonnie's purples? In this block, the cheddars that I sprinkled into the browns work very well against the indigo blues, but the browns just blend in too much.
Here is another example:
See how they just get lost? Now look at one that was made with all cheddar on the sitting turkeys.
I like it so much better!
Those brown points have GOT TO GO!!! So I'll be ripping and replacing on some stuff.

Vic, can't you somehow turn the browns into a secondary (or tertiary) pattern so you don't have to rip? My reds and army greens did a similar thing, too. I wish I'd noticed value when choosing my colors!
Having all cheddar points does make the pattern stand out so much more!
Have fun bonding with your ripper. : )
Isn't it amazing what a difference fabrics can make? I chuckled at your airplane controller remark. I sometimes feel that way too.
The cheddar really makes those stars pop. Sorry you're going to have to rip-it, but I agree it will be worth it in the long run :)
good choice to replace those browns....sometimes it takes stepping back to get a bird's eye view; i know it works for me on certain projects. can't wait to see the flimsy! did you get snow tuesday? none here yet
