Default Out of my comfort zone, part 2...

I posted yesterday, asking for help because I was way out of my comfort zone on this quilt. It isn't a difficult pattern, so that wasn't my problem. The problem was all of the colors. It just looked like a mess to me.

With a lot of help from many folks here, I have rearranged a few blocks and added a border. This is all on my design wall, and the blocks are not sewn together, etc.

But, I think this will do it. I even have a back up plan if I change my mind in the next few hours....as I am going to leave this on my design wall for at least that long before my decision is final.

The pattern is called Picnic from a book called Scrap Basket Sensations by Kim Brackett. I was inspired to do this quilt by a thread called Scrappy Batik Quilt...which I will add if I can find the link. The quilt shown there is beautiful. I wasn't trying to copy, but I wanted mine to look good. I think scrappy quilts will always be out of my comfort zone and I will avoid them from now on and just admire other folks' scrappy quilts, but I think I have a design here I can live with.

Thanks for all the help.
