Disappointed on this one...

I agree. The 8 blocks that are dark need more contrast between pieces as you did the ones in the center. You can always save the 8 dark blocks to work into your backing.

Try setting them with the blended darker blocks on the bottom left then add the lighter blocks to the right going up and maybe make 3 light on light blocks for the top right corner. Just a thought. Luann Love the colors but as many have said not enough contrast on a few of the blocks! Luann

I agree more contrast. By the same token you picked out the fabric because you liked it and are not happy at this time. Maybe you just need some time away from them. You put alot of time and energy into these blocks don't be so hard on yourself. I have worked on projects that I seriously considered burying in the backyard(I can do that as I don't live in the city) I put them away for awhile and started on something new. When I later pulled them out I was glad I hadn't had the energy to dig the hole. Hang in there we all have our days when we say "What was I thinking!"

Why, I see a modern monochromatic quilt. 6 blocks whith a high contrast is enough, place them strategically trough the whole quilt, and you need more blocks whith a low contrast. No sashing, no borders. You will create like a new fabric. It will be stanning.

To complete your design, you need to put half square triangles in the center of the sashing. In your design,the sashing is another color not included in the pinwheel and a thin stripe between the block and the sashing, a thin stripe around the outer edge of the block and another thin stripe around the point of the squares. Lots of work, but you can graph it out and figure it out. It is a a very unique design and I love it. if you use the same sashing on all the blocks, I think it will pull all the blocks together.
