Default Not sure I like how this turned out

[ATTACH=CONFIG]606647[/ATTACH]

I had several blocks I wanted to try. Sort of a ribbon block theme. I considered a row quilt, and a sampler quilt with a more traditional layout. I guess I would consider this a modern layout? Anyway, I had fun making the blocks of all different sizes, and adding in some filler blocks I wanted to try too. It was a fun challenge to figure out how to put it together, and due to my inexperience, how to piece the various blocks together. (Are those odd intersections considered "y" seams?)
It was lots of fun to make, but I am not sure I really like outcome. It ended up being a very odd size, and longer than expected, so it looks unbalanced. Maybe I needed to add more white sashing between block groupings? Or add more width to improve the proportions. Maybe I am just not a big fan of the modern layout. I am interested in any comments, and I am not sensitive, so feel free to be blunt. (Sorry this is sideways, not sure how to fix that. It was oriented correctly from my file.)
