Help me arrange my OBW, please.

I think it looks good! Sorry you lost so many blocks. If you are not sure about the arrangement, take a picture of different arrangements and then decide. I have my fabric and the book but have not started mine yet. Yours is very cheerful!

You know... looking at these colors, I think I would go diagonally white to dark... maybe. I've been buying sale fabric to make practice blocks with and its just not a easy quilt, but one of the most beautiful I think. Let us know what you decide to do!! What ever it is I'm sure it will be gorgeous!

i love your blocks. i might take the circle-y one from the center and trade it with the 'daisy' looking one next to it on the 'southeast' of it. i just think that the obvious circles shouldn't be directly in the center. JMHO

Gees, set it the way you want it, otherwise you will second guess yourself to death and end up throwing it out.. not a quilt I would start without a lot of thinking, that is a very hard pattern.. the only way I see you sewing it together after you sew the triangles together is to hand sew them, they lay so nice but take longer to do... but do it while watching tv or in quite time. LOL.. maybe one day I will get up enough courage to try one.. Yep, I'm a chicken on this one..

The triangles are only sewn in trapezoids right now, pinned in hexagons. But I don't hand sew anything. This will be done in strips, to avoid bothering with the Y seams (though I did try some Y seams this afternoon and they actually aren't that hard.)

Your OBW looks pretty.

I have to admit, when I looked at the blocks you posted yesterday I thought you would never get a good OBW out of that fabric. Boy, was I wrong! It is working out really well, and I like your arrangement already. This is the type of quilt that draws your eye all over and around, noticing something new each time.
