OK heres what I think back away from as far as you can from the design and start squinting your eyes or look at the picture and squint your eyes....this will give you a different loo.... then you can start to imagine a disign using the light colored hexagons to give you a swrilling motion of differetn designs and use the darks to lead into another swriling design of the light color,,,,that way you quilt will have movement with some kind of direction....does any of this make any sense???
