The design looked fine on paper, but when it was on the design wall it looked like total chaos.

I had the piggy material and needed to make a baby quilt for a boy. I was needing a way to make the pink more acceptable for a boy quilt and then it came to me that neapolitan ice cream was the favorite ice cream of the babies late grandfather.
The quilt is called "Neapolitan Piggies"

Before I had all the strips sewn and cut, I could see a mess happening. I did have exactly enough ice cream squares to go around the edge (and rotating clockwise across and down). Out came the crayons (I need to upgrade to Quilt Wizard) and copy paper in hopes of savaging this quilt.

Give it to me straight...does this look like crap to you? What would you do?

I may have to call it "Neapolitan Pinwheel Piggies".
