I would like some feedback: modern quilt - wonky embroidery?

Love your designs, I do a lot of tote bags and these designs would go good on them.
I sent you a couple of private messages. Email me, gave you that in the message. I can send you pictures of some of the things I have embroidered on bags.

i have, but am not sure what message it is sending. I don't think it is very formal. I mean, I can't really envision people at the oscars with tight blue jeans (or black) with shimmering heels. (Or maybe they are there...I actually don't watch the oscars...

Off-kilter does not define 'modern'. Your embroidered blocks do not carry enough visual weight to be set on a slant and remain effective, no matter what their color. They are much more effective straight up and down, though you could add interest by putting them in a less balanced (rigid?) arrangement than your 2-3-2-3-2 pattern. Also, odd numbers of things are more pleasing to the eye than even. If you go with colored blocks, consider using one or three, not two.

As a person who frequently wears a formal jacket with jeans.....or leggings under a business skirt with DM's. I like wonky with a flash of colour....Madquilters idea of straight coloured sashing amongst the wonky also would look fantastic. Anyway whatever you decide will be good. The blocks themselves are stunning, so I think they would "shine" no matter what.
