Sunflower, that is a great quilt.
Yeah this is why I have been looking at a LOT of them, because I am afraid that will happen to me. I think the trick is that you don't want the squares that are whole squares to be a dominant fabric, it needs to be lighter or softer looking that the rail fence blocks, and I think having your darkest fabric in the middle of the rail fence seems to work the best. Most of the ones that I have seen that blended had white or a light color in the middle of the rail fence and then their plain block fabric was too dominant so my eye was drawn only to that.
