After struggling with the fabrics I selected, I realized that all the florals, oriental prints, etc. just clashed with the wonderful flowers that were produced. So I put all those fabrics away and went with plain colors. Those were narrowed down to the periwinkle fairy frost and the white on white. They were originally going to be a ribbon affect all around the block, however they never got passed a "rick rack" affect! So, never getting the hang of the ribbon "look", I changed to a modified chevron.
The flip fold around the original block, uses the fabric from the center of the flowers. The chevron is next. And then I played with the gold fabric and added seed beads on the folds. It is hard to see here, but when you look at it in person, it is a very formal block. Unfortunately, my cell phone does not take the best pictures. The block is done and ready to go on it's way to the next creator.

really nice, simple & elegant.
You really hit upon a great design. It really does emphasize the flowers. The precision of the chevrons is impressive.

Wow, the piecing on your chevron is great! Don't you just love the fairy frost fabrics. :-)
