My first paper pieced block

After many (many) trial runs I finally finished a paper pieced block. I used Carol Doak's Barbara's Block from her book 40 Bright & Bold Paper-Pieced Blocks: 12-Inch Designs.

I'm thinking that I need to make different fabric choices in order to really show off the nifty piece work. 

More contrast and either smaller prints or solid colors. I have 6 more to make for the ladies in my Quilt bee hive. I'm really looking forward to seeing how each one turns out.
