I know me, and I know I would get bored with this so I would probably try to add some interest by using a variety of low volume fabrics for the background just to keep my interest. The solids you have are very bright and saturated so I think the contrast would still be good.

How cool the way those circles emerge the further back you go. And knowing it will be Kona solids? I love it already.

I have the gown I wore home from the hospital after they cut my shirts off when I broke my shoulder. I’ve been wondering how to make a pattern so I can remake it for doll versions.

Her mom had started the project and she wanted someone to finish it. It was easier to do than I had anticipated. Your version should be fun, but boy, those are a lot of little squares.
