getting stitchy with it

So I have chosen to use pink, red and green cottons
along with a cream for the background.
Hand quilting for me is on a par with hand piecing.
There are no fixed rules,
which can be confusing,
with so much choice..
I am toying with the idea of quilting 
petal shapes within the white 
like a daisy with a hex centre..
I might make a trial run to see if I like it.

Any guesses to which backing I went with?

  11. I'm extremely new to crocheting, but bravely yesterday I attempted your itty bitty tutorial and made the stars. I have looked at so many patterns on the net and none made more sense than yours, so I made (yours) them without much trouble and writing here to thank you for putting up such a simple but good pattern and tute! anymore simple crochet patterns and tutes would be most apppreciated!
