After looking at countless photos yesterday, I've decided I think the pattern is brilliant (when it works). But it is certainly true that it works better with some fabric choices than others (understatement). I've been trying to understand which color choices work best. I agree, some of the darker greens are very problematic. Also, it seems too strong a yellow will stop the spin. I really hope mine will work; I don't think you can tell until you have a few blocks together, and I am far from that point.
I'm sorry so many are unhappy with the reveal. I'm really eager to get on with mine (I did no sewing yesterday, was too busy looking at photos, LOL), and hopeful that I will like it in the end. Even if I don't, though, I have enjoyed this process immensely, and that won't change. I hope people will continue to post photos. I will, as soon as I have something together. Still plodding through clue #2.
