    I prefer the blocks your way.

    I think it looks very good. Calm and sweet.

    I'd like to see it laid out like the original pattern so we can have a comparison. Right now I like the original because of the secondary pattern going on.

    I think the lavender is her design wall.

    I like it - love the fabrics. But, something that jumped out at me was the possibility of adding a snowball to the outside corners of the teal strips. Might give an interesting break to the linear strips. You could use little pieces of all the fabrics in the blocks. Just a thought.

    I prefer the original layout too. Your's is also vey nice. Might also be nice to consider strips (maybe neutral) between each block to breakup the pattern a bit and maybe a wider boarder than the original. Just a couple thoughts...

    Looks good though!

    I think you have a beautiful quilt just the way it is. It's beautiful.

    I wonder how it would look if all the stripes ran in the same direction and the alternating would be broken up by the blue border.
