OK - I made another one, with a smaller color range (clean blues and purples), and with more medium value fabrics rather than just darks and lights. I like it much better, and I look forward to hanging it on my porch!
(Again, I have just stuck the blocks up on my design wall - the quilt isn't sewn up yet.)
