The colors are soft and very pretty. My plan is to make a bag using some of the blocks as pockets. It won't require all of them, so I am undecided as to what to do with the remaining blocks. I haven't started on this project yet. Part of my only 4 star rating is that there are no coordinating fabrics for this panel. I know that there are sure to be some fabrics that will work, but having fabrics that coordinate would be great.
