Importance of a design wall
[ATTACH=CONFIG]528285[/ATTACH]I was so concerned with balancing out individual whirligigs, darker colors offset by lighter colors, that a I did not think about middle of quilt. I should have offset background triangles with longer strips in making four squares. All pieces ona a design wall would have been helpful! Know I am not sure what to do, forget it and just use it in family room or make 4 individual wall hangings? I know I am not taking it all apart to correct. Good lesson learned. Next time I make this quilt, I will think it out a little better! Free moda pattern on their website.

Oh I don't know...I see an interesting secondary pattern in the center there, in white. Looks a bit like a Thunderbird to me! That would not be there if you'd added sashing or something.
I like it just how it is.

Paper Princess that is a good idea but then the quilt is top heavy on color on one side. However, that would probably be easier to live with than this image in the middle!
