Firstly... now I have a darning foot, work on my
little bouquet quilt can resume. However, before quilting can begin I still need/want to add leaves and I have two options regarding leaves and can't decide between them. Below you can see my two options, and close-ups of them.

Right: leaves fussy cut from some fabric left over from a skirt


So what do we think? Which leaves should it be?
The second thing I'm being indecisive about is in regards to my next project(s); fabric sat begging to be made into shirts.
Firstly I have this Italian shirting fabric that I bought at Clegs last time they had a 20% off sale

1- Make the Emily pattern as is (with the shorter sleeves)
2- Make the JJ body with the Emily collar and sleeves - is this possible? can I mush together patterns like that?
Should I take the risk of the fit with the Emily pattern? (I could always make a muslin first to get the fit right, shock horror!) Or do I 'play it safe' and use the princess seams in the JJ?
Secondly I have this slightly stretchy fabric that I got from the $10 corner at Tessuti

While on the subject of shirts, another shirt pattern I'm just waiting to use is the Ute blouse (which Nichola has taught me the proper pronunciation.) Sadly I don't have the right fabric for that one yet.
