I've got one on my design wall right now. I saw a quilt and wanted to make something similar, even though it's out of my color comfort zone. Don't know if I don't like it because of the colors or what. I'll press on, sometimes I get discouraged at this stage but like the end result.

As far as your quilt, I like the colors a lot, but maybe there's a bit too much going on between the fabric print and the pattern. If you have enough fabric, I would remove the burgundy corners from a couple of blocks and replace them with the same gold used in the others. this way, the secondary QST design would be replaced with a square on point.
You actually don't have to unsew at this point, just cut some of the gold triangle and audition them.

Isnt that fabric line Lilac Hill? Maybe a lavendar would help.

oooh I do that all the time. Sometimes it might be awhile before I get it done. But someday I will do it. lol

Just finish it up and give away.

Your blocks look wonderful to me. I think it will be fine, perhaps you could continue on with the design and then choose a border pattern or fabric that pulls it together or makes everything else go BAM! Sometimes how we quilt them will also bring a fabric to the front or push it to the back. You never know this quilt may end up being one of your favorites once its all finished.

I think many of us go through these feelings when we are making the blocks. Then when we get the blocks put together they sort of come alive and we love them. Don't let this become a UFO. I love your blocks and your colors are beautiful. Take them to a quilt shop and audition them. I'll bet there will be something that will help you love them again.

I like your blocks too. Maybe you are being too hard on yourself?

I like the idea that was proposed for light sashing. I would also add borders of the eggplant and dark green. Thanks for posting- they are pretty and once you put them all together, the quilt will be terrific. Keep us up to date.

I learned from many books, magazines, classes, and talking to award winning quilters that it isn't the fabric design that comes first, it's the contrast of fabrics that comes first then the color way then the fabric design. Get one of the red and green plastic fabric viewing screens and you can instantly see the contrast in the fabric. I was surprised at what I thought was light fabric against med fabric were both the same contrast!

I too like what you have & agree sashing would work. Don't give up the blocks are too pretty for that.
