fay - I actually really like the hexes with the teal and white stripes because they seem energetic and springy to me. I agree that they need to be kept together. I would either put them all in the middle (as a focal point) or scatter them around the edges...or put them on the back!

kaelynangelfoot - what a lovely quilt-to-be! The navy and rusts together are gorgeous!

I was thinking the same thing. I'd hate to see them banished to the back, but I can see how it would be very hard to get them to "play nice" with the other blocks. I've never made a OBW. It always amazes me to see the variety of blocks that come from one print. You picked a good one.
