[QUOTE=jclinganrey;7043378]It looks like you used watercolor-type Batiks, i.e., Hoffman or similar in most of your blocks and a handful of Batiks with a 'stronger' - much more contrast - print some other blocks. For example, Row 1, 3rd from the right (you have 3 of these blocks), Row 2, 2nd from the right (2 of these blocks) and Row 4, 2nd from the left (2 blocks). What if you replaced those blocks with others using watercolor Batiks? Use those 7 blocks on the back of your quilt!

Maybe using a variety of watercolor Batiks throughout your quilt might give it a better look.
Just my humble opinion - - - -



Well, you are good! This is exactly what I did. I started with a layer cake of batiks and then decided I didn't like the rest of the fabrics in it. So I added some that I already had, some that are more jewel colors. May not have been the way to go.
