not sure how to lay this out.

What do you guys think? The pattern is called hidden wells. I did it out of a jelly roll. It's not as nice as I have done before but it works with the jelly roll. I have two layouts that I have found to be okay but not sure about it. I have even thought about turning it into two tops. what do you guys think? how would you do it. Which way do you guys think is best for this top? As it sits now the top should be around 36/48" but I am not sure about the layout.

I think I would put the darker ones in the center and fade out with the lighter ones.

I like that suggestion.

This may sound wacky, but have you tried mixing up all the blocks (and by that I mean don't put 4 light ones together, and 4 dark ones together like you have - mix it up)? I think the problem you are seeing is that there's such a dramatic difference between the two, and if they're all mixed up it might look great.

personally, i would not attempt to layout anything this scrappy with the matching blocks right together...move them around, take pix... the pictures take you further away and you can judge better... they would be great as stated by dunster...or putting in a unifying sash that would let them all relate to the same thing ... can's state for sure because of computer color differences, but a med dark gray would make them ALL get lighter and brighter by comparison... you would benefit by just a little more contrast.... but as i said, that may be my computer flattening them a bit...the deep coral is the brightest color on my screen... if you have something in gray...lay them on it but put a few inches apart to simulate the sashing... maybe they all just need a frame... it is really interesting and i'm sure you will trust your eye when you see the one that's right...

I agree....mix them up.....it will bring sense to all of the different fabrics/colors....a more scrappy look than a planned look that isn't working

Id like to mix them up too.

Can they be arranged kind of like the star spin pattern or pin wheels? If not, I would mix up the backgrounds and emphasize the wells. Very pretty blocks!
