    I agree with most everyone else. The pattern is neat; you did a great job of piecing; but I think a solid somewhere in there would show off the pattern better and give more contrast.

    I like the Spinning Color Wheel pattern but as others have said contrast is needed

    I like the soft colors. Will be a pretty baby quilt.

    I tend to agree with some of the other comments. The blues stand out but the pinks blend together too much. JMHO

    I like your color combinations very much. I would probably use like-size prints. My preference is for the 1930's size prints; however, I tend to "play it safe" and like too much harmony (monochromatic) sometimes to the degree of being "boring". A very good teacher at the LQS told me to "choose whatever you like...makes it interesting".

    I agree - and it looks great - GOOD FOR YOU !

    Beautiful block but would use a solid in it. it would then have a pinwheel effect.

    I agree with quiltmouse, that the busyness is okay, and that you need more contrast opposite each other (dark pink & dark blue). I like florals. I'm sure whatever you chose to do the results will be beautiful.

    I love it as is. I find I'm increasingly attracted to less contrast, softer colors. I think it's great.
