Great first project, the suggestion I have is to use a single sashing between the bird squares. Also, the greens are close together.

another hint would be to make a design board. there is a different perspective when laying out a quilt on an upright board.

A few of my main questions are....is the purple fabric too bright?....should I "break up" the ivory 4 corners with a coordinating ivory with color?....and also, I was planning on yet another border around each bird panel in it's own color, but now I am thinking that would be too much?

Suggestions?
Thanks!
