I am working on finishing My Tweets right now. You are right it is "very bright", but I love it. I don't always follow the color suggestions on patterns, but I liked this so much and already had all the brights in my stash, so I went with it. I worked on so many BOMs last year and still have this one and "Garden Party" left to complete. Not working on any BOMs this year.
I love your block will be watching for your progress.
