Well....I tried my best to just use what I had on hand....but I did buy a fat quarter for the stems. For me, this was very hard....a lot of fabrics have different hues to them, yellow, pink, etc....
I chose to applique with the blanket stitch which has not been done yet. I really love her book, her neutrals gives a fresh earthy look and I love that. I did enjoy this challenge that I gave myself to go with neutrals because
"I wanted to go outside my box" and I did.
Just now I searched google where you can find her book and I was amazed at all of the places this book is, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, several quilting stores....wonderful book. She made the comment that we are welcome to do it in color, I knew she wouldn't mind, if you have not been to her blog...do go here

It looks great Barb!
You have a lot more neutrals than I have, I think. It looks terrific, Barb.
Lovely! I have the same problem using neutrals. Matter of fact I don't buy enough neutrals. I love what you have done and think the blanket stitch will be great on this piece. Will you hand stitch it or machine blanket stitch it?
Very pretty!!!
Hey You promised! you couldn't just help yourself??? lol. where's the finished project BEFORE this one?? hmmm... just kidding.
it looks great.
You have been busy. The quilt is beautiful!
Look at you! You went neutral instead of bright. I didn't think that would happen.....
It's a beautiful quilt Barb!
So very interesting...I can understand your challenge in making it...but you've done well! Happy stitching!
You did a great job! I need to start collecting neutrals.
Barb it looks great! Praise , praise for you. I would struggle making something in only one colorway. Does her book have other applique projects?
This is beautiful. You do so many wonderful quilts and projects. How do you do it???

Barb you did a wonderful job an that quilt. I am not much for neutrals but I actually liked it. Thanks for showing us we can work outside our box. Hey I won another prize on the Ghastlie blog hop, the quilt top from Gmama Jane which was a thrill because we have become such good friends over the last few months and she is such a sweet lady. it has really been my lucky week.Blessings Sandra
