Here is a picture of my blocks. Mine are mostly on the lighter shade other than the center block. I'm assuming that the 2 1/2" strips will be connecting the blocks. If so, I might just use a darker color for in between the blocks. I'll just have to wait and see. A lot of the light fabric I used in mine was white and light colored batik. Once I laid all the blocks out, it doesn't look too bad. I might end up liking it after all.
