Default storm at sea - i think this is working?

hrm. i don't know that this is quite swirling the way i hoped it would, but maybe...maybe it's just that i've only begun?

the picture looks more swirly than the blocks on my table. i made those background triangles all the same colour to provide some visual stability, but now i am wondering if i've disrupted the wave that emerges from the way you assemble the blocks.

thoughts?

I think it looks great - I can see the waving action emerging. I think you have a good thing going here.

I think it will wave when it's more together. Love the blues and greens.

I think it looks marvelous! The colors that you chose are remarkable. Cannot wait to see it all finished.

I think you are OK. You really need to have more rows before you see the movement of the pattern.

Wow, love your colors. I agree with the rest, the wave action will happen in a few more rows.

Beautiful beginning. It sure looks wavy from where I am sitting.
