@quiltmouse (hee hee, I'm using the "wesing" thing...
I really like your colors and would have loved some of your reds in my quilt. I'm unhappy with some of the pieces I had to throw in towards the end as I was running out of some and had too much of others.
I think as you put more together you won't worry too much about the cut down light showing block. With the small size of pieces in a BH quilt, I've learned to use fairly small prints or just not to worry. But yeah, when your color is supposed to be blue but the way it was cut, suddenly you have a pink square, I just toss the pink square. With this quilt one of the fabrics I was using had always been really difficult for me to use, I think it arrived in my stash when I bought some fabric from an estate sale. I didn't exactly fussy cut but I tried to eliminate the chance of a 1" red square being green instead and feel I've gotten my use out of the fabric. Another "red" was a pretty large floral when seen in whole was definitely red, but the cut size made it be all sorts of things...
