I agree that it looks pretty busy, but I've come this far and sticking it out. Her photo looks great. I've decided that the "new" turquoise 3-1/2" squares will all be same fabric and not scrappy. I really didn't have a choice as I only have 1 piece that can make enough squares. Anyhow, I tested a bit and I DEFINITELY think the constant cornerstones help pull it together.
