if you are not happy with a 'scrappy' look, rearrange the blocks in a color flow. in one corner start with the pinks, purples and gradually go down to the far corner and the darkest colors. This will let you eye see an organized pattern. I think your quilt is fun and lively, but I completely understand having difficulties with some designs.

I like the separation. That was my first thought too. Also, at first I saw butterflies, until I got to the edge and saw half a butterfly and realized it was circles as you have placed here. Those shapes could easily make butterfly wings and then it would still be modern but be more stylized?

How funny. Right now I have that very pattern done and on my design wall. I did mine with all different batiks using a white Kona for the white part, which looks just like yours. Believe me, even if you don't love it someone will. It is a wonderful colorful quilt.......As a "scrapper", I like it!!!
