I'm going to start over with clue #2. For one thing, the large print neutrals I chose are far too distracting -- something I was not able to determine until seeing some sewn units. But also, I'm not liking my magenta. The pattern variations are more obvious and distracting than I anticipated. I do have another magenta, so I'll cut some of that and do a few units, and see if it seems more promising. If I don't like it any better, I'll just re-do the large neutral units with the first magenta.
