It looks good. I have looked this one up and it is less busy than her "Gypsy Wife" pattern, but I do like her patterns.

You are doing an awesome job on this quilt--don't envy you working on it though--not only all the techniques but I'm sooo tired of sampler quilts personally! Always like the ones I see, but so tired of making them! Have to admit this one is certainly busy.

I like your choice of fabrics, they allow me to see the pattern. The original reds, yellows, and other colors I just give up trying to see the blocks.
You are doing great!

I agree with this but perhaps the individual blocks would pop more if they were separated by a (narrow) border. But I really like it.

I don't think it's too busy at all. I like it and love the colors.

I found the pattern while looking at images of the quilt http://www.sewingparty.com/Jen_Kingw...weet-beans.htm
it is busy, busy but it reminds me of our yard when we had wildflowers planted beside the garden beds, busy, busy but pretty in it's own way.

Just saw the original quilt and I like yours much better.

I think if you separated the blocks with just a narrow, say 1" or less, dark shashing the blocks would stand out individually and be much easier for the eye to separate and focus. It's a great quilt. Love the cactus bowl, but to highlight each I do think sashing is in order. Please let us see the finished quilt. Good luck.
