Tenderness Quilt

My next project is going to be the Lilabelle Lane/Sharon Burgess Tenderness Quilt. I bought the pattern, plus plastic template and the papers I need to English Paper Piece the quilt, on Etsy. 

Haven't decided what fabrics I'm going to use, but I'm determined NOT to buy any new fabrics ... I like the idea of using muted colours - beige, cream, pale yellow, pink, brown.

I was hoping to have started on the quilt before I left for Liverpool at the end of the month, but the pattern is coming from Australia so I doubt it will get here in time.

Have finished my quilt top. We'll see how long it takes me to do the actual quilting ...

Some progress ... I like the way the flowers work together.

We'll see how this works ...

I now have 3 different flower combinations - 8 of each. But I'm stuck ...  I'm trying to come up with a pattern that works.  I may make 8 outer rings from the gingham ... or try another fabric. Or make extras of one of the 3 colour combinations I have so far.

My flowers are coming together.  Still loads more to go ...
