I like it. I was not much for it originally but those flowers just tie it all together and soften the dark brown.

I do agree with you...I think the hexies would flow better. LOVE the quilt!!!

Do you think it helps the eye flow across the quilt and pick up all the elements? Or do you think it's an awful idea and plain would be better? It's just pinned in place..... it can be unpinned very easily.

I think your quilt is exquisite! Absolutely love what you have done with the appliqués. Congratulations on a job very well done.
