Oooo Star :D:D:D Those are pretty blocks :D:D:D
I like the idea of the S curve too... with all of the darker blocks, you could make the S very open and it would take your eye all over the quilt :D:D:D
I found it easier to keep my blocks contained within the allotted area by measuring and counting my blocks, figuring out how many wide X tall I could go, and then I used masking tape to stay within that boundary while I was laying them out.

The S shape was actually what I was trying to do!!LOL I just didn't know how to say it,DUH. and I also played with the the idea of the yellow and pink in the middle but DH and I like the black in the middle. I may have to make some more blocks!! thanx for the ideas I will be playing with it for a while to get it right.
