Nah, you are fine! You always get it done. Besides, I haven't started yet either. I'm still working on a quilt for Relay for Life due on May 6th. Another one for Happy Dog Cafe due on May 14th. That plus it's time to start planting!!
I have six done and then I got company and haven't got back to them. My stepmom passed away this morning and this might slow me up some but I will get them done in time I think.
Looks good to me but Coyote was the one to specify backgrounds so maybe it should be her call. I love the geckos. They don't look like the ones on the walls of buildings on Okinawa. I still remember them.
I think they look good, but if you don't like the competition of the background fabric, try the reverse side of your background, you will still get some movement, but backgound would be lighter and you will get more of the contrast between the geko and background.
