    I like it.
    To me it says 'different' and I am always drawn to different.

    I like it....but to put a pop to it and to break the "motion sickness for others maybe a solid dot, or square actually 5 placed would do it. one in middle of each corner blocks and one in middle. could be applique.

    Well, yes and no. It is very bright and busy. My eyes can't seem to find any place to rest, which could make a person feel dizzy. My DD would love this quilt. Altho I have made a couple for her and gifts, I have never cared for the magic tile block, because it seems to have no rhyme or reason, and this is magic tile without the narrow sashing between each piece and block.

    You did a very nice job on it--didn't Fons and Porter do something very similar on their last TV show? I think people won't feel as dizzy when it is laid on a bed--or when they are cozy under it.

    I like the pink inner border you used. It looks like a crazy quilt to me. It does not make me dizzy.

    No, it doesn't make me dizzy....but the funny thing, I can almost see where it might some people. But I would be happy to take it off your hands....

    Again, thanks for the comments. Even though it does cause some to feel dizzy, I still feel good about it. I don't normally make quilts with a lot of colors and will probably go back to my favorite....shades of purple...

    I love all the colors! I was thinking that maybe the very slight "dizzy factor" might be all the medium sized prints. It might help in the future if you include some solid fabrics, or mini print blenders. That is what you would use for windowing, but I think if you don't do windowing putting the solids in your piecing would probably help create a resting place for the eye. PLEASE do not give up on all the wonderful colors! It looks great!!!!!

    Yes, the prints are all the same....bandana....only different colors. It seemed like a much better idea in my head.
