I would be excited too!!! I need to find my next project... Or maybe I'll get started an other UFO!
I'm interested to know if you have rejected the idea of doing it like the original you showed yesterday (I went back to look) which uses shades of white as well as blue. Perhaps you are going to put white in anyway?
I love the book which I looked at on Amazon!
I can definitely see where the lime and purple change the tone of the other fabrics.
There seem to be so many Monarch butterflies this year. They are so beautiful and exciting to watch.
I first found Monarch caterpillars in our garden by noticing the stuff they drop on leaves. (You can see some on the leaf under the caterpillar in your photo.) It prompted me to look under the leaves on our milkweed and I spotted the caterpillar. It's always a treat to see the caterpillars or even just the evidence that they are in the garden.

Orange, being the complement, would be an exciting insert color. I love orange and blue together with some green.
Aren't milkweed flowers very fragrant? I've only driven past the wild ones - and that was decades ago - but I seem to remember them as delightfully scented. And then the seed pods are so interesting.

I adore purple and lime together but I agree they would alter the look of the quilt, they really draw attention to themselves against your lovely blues and green.
I take it you won't be using the same fabric for all the insets? But will pick from you selection here?
I like what you have so far, I didn't like the lime and purple at all. I appreciate all the time you take to show us your making quilts.
