hmm...I see what you mean. Have you tried shifting the blocks into different configurations (even if it doesn't match the pattern layout)? Good luck!

I have all the blocks made and spread it out on the floor and I don't like it at all! I thought it might be the color of the setting triangles around the outside edge so I went and bought new fabric for that and replaced them but I still don't like it. There's just something about it and I can't quite put my finger on it. Now I don't even want to finish sewing it together. I want to move on to my next quilt but feel guilty about wasting fabric and leaving it unfinished.

It is absolutely beautiful!!! Love it best with the light colored triangles -- don't stop now! Post the next pic when it's done.

Here's the solution. Send it to me. I love it. froggyintexas

Thats why there's ufos. Sometimes we are to hard on our selves. Walk away then return later. You might think wow look at those colors.

Yes we have all been there and the advice to put it aside is a good one. Give some space and come back to it. I like more colour in it but the dark one is a little too dark for me and it is too flat as a colour so stands out. It may be better in a patterned fabric. Also a quilt changes so much at each stage. If it is going to have a border around it that will change it immensley so continue when you can and keep posting pics.

I like the second one best - maybe try all dark pink... & see if you like it better. otherwise as has been suggested by others - finish it & donate it

I like both of the pics but the second one a little more. The quilt is pretty and has nice fabric.

I have put projects away (for years) just to get it out again and really enjoy finishing it. If it really bothers me after a length of time, I gift or give it to charity. Anything so I don't have to see it any more!
