You have 6 blocks. Things look better in odd number amounts. Try the orange with your blue for another block.

Background..I'd be tempted to use black. You could put a border of the bright green and maybe orange on it. Oh, and a narrow black (from the background) in between.

Great blocks! Another block in the darker blue would be nice and I would just fill in the spaces with solid diamonds.

Very cool blocks!! I agree with Tartan and gingerd - another blue block might look good and a black background would make them pop.

Those are very cute! Are they hard to make? They look hard. To answer your question, I would also add another blue.

Ditto what the others have said. I can't wait to see a picture of the final quilt!

I think a darker teal would look great on the quilt.

Hi Dina,
I am guessing about this but it looks like a half square triangle block that you add side borders first and then top and bottom borders.

I definitely agree with the black background. The colors you have chosen are great, they have a tropical feel to them, so perhaps a couple of blocks with other tropicals could be added. Pink? Orange? Turquoise?
