I love it. the colors work great together .

I agree with most everyone else. The pattern is neat; you did a great job of piecing; but I think a solid somewhere in there would show off the pattern better and give more contrast.

I like the Spinning Color Wheel pattern but as others have said contrast is needed

I like the soft colors. Will be a pretty baby quilt.

I tend to agree with some of the other comments. The blues stand out but the pinks blend together too much. JMHO

I like your color combinations very much. I would probably use like-size prints. My preference is for the 1930's size prints; however, I tend to "play it safe" and like too much harmony (monochromatic) sometimes to the degree of being "boring". A very good teacher at the LQS told me to "choose whatever you like...makes it interesting".

I agree - and it looks great - GOOD FOR YOU !

Beautiful block but would use a solid in it. it would then have a pinwheel effect.

I agree with quiltmouse, that the busyness is okay, and that you need more contrast opposite each other (dark pink & dark blue). I like florals. I'm sure whatever you chose to do the results will be beautiful.

I love it as is. I find I'm increasingly attracted to less contrast, softer colors. I think it's great.

I love all the colors. I would do light,dark for effect. Do you see how the eye goes towards the darker pink and blue, so if you even it out as far as color it would look great, other that than that, very nice block.

For me, I think it depends on the look you want.
1. If going for the mixed look, then I would mix in many colors and not just the pinks and a couple blues. The blues look out of place .
2. I think it is a very attractive block if you just go with alternating the pinks: pink background/white flowers, white background/pink flowers, etc. It has that delicate soft look with not a lot of contrast. You can do that with each block in a different color scheme.
3. For high contrast, then go with something more along the lines of the mauve and blue combination, but then do that with each square for more consistency. You can use lots of different combinations.
For me, and IMHO, what throws things off, is when it's all combined in one block and I can't read what the intention is.

I agree!

I quoted a reply that it IS too busy. I like the fabric. The blue pieces draw my eye down to the lower left. They almost seem like they don't belong there. It throws the balance off. I love the block! Maybe some more blue on top right? The contrast would help the fabric stand out.

I like all of the fabrics together, and this pattern, especially for a baby girl's quilt.

I like the florals, but I think you either need to have the same number of blues as pinks or just pinks. My other thought was, if you only use two blues, make them opposite each other. I love that pattern.

Oh, I just love it! :thumbup:

I really love all the fabrics and the pattern, but this comment is exactly what I thought at first look. Great skill putting the block together!!

I think it is too busy also. I agree with an earlier poster - some more solids, maybe 2, would help.

Great sewing together. I feel it needs some blue in the top right. Love the pattern. BrendaK

those with the colored backgrounds seems to pop out more. took me a minute to figure out the pattern. try a block with mid tones and dark tones together to see if its any easier to pick out the pattern.

I love the fabrics and think they all work well together. I don't even own any solids - to me, they look like they don't belong.

The only thing I'd change is that I'd try moving the darkest blue and the darkest pink so that they aren't right next to each other.

Hope we see more!

I agree with the need for more contrast. The prints are fine and go well together, but if you had more contrast each individual "card" would pop and be immediately visible.

It's beautiful ,but try on a black background.

You've selected really beautiful fabrics, however, I'm having trouble identifying the pattern due to the lack of color contract. Idea: This could almost be a "crazy quilt block" in light color. If you make several in light fabrics like this one and several in dark fabrics then lay them out in a light and dark pattern, you could end up with a fabulous quilt.

I think it is very well put together but too busy. Needs some solid colors.

Great job and lovely colors!

I think it looks great

I think its lovely..and it will all come together when you add all the blocks together. Very pretty.

There is only one rule I have heard about. Do you like it? As you can see we all have different opinions and all are correct. I like it. I'll bet the baby won't care. IMO

Love the colors. So pretty

For a baby girl, I would change the blue to a pink print...
You might like the resulting harmony.
You have used smalls, medium and large prints for balance.
You have used darks, mediums and lights too.
You might experiment with the placement so that two of the same values or print size are not adjoining.

I agree with most of the others. You need more contrast in the fabrics and maybe not so many different prints. Try some fabrics that read as solids.

Love it! I would choose the same florals and colors.

The piecing is very nice, but you are losing the effect of the card trick block by having so much activity in the fabrics. The colors are ok, but maybe you want to divide the florals with some tone-on-tones or solids. This is such a striking block you want your design to be more evident.

Perfect, I don't see nothing wrong with it.
You did great.

I think it would be more striking if every other fabric was more solid in color, and more contrasting to the florals on either side of it. But I really like the block pattern! :thumbup:

And so you see that the #1 truth is that each person's truth is a little different, or a LOT different, LOL, and when it comes right down to it, you must listen to your heart and follow your own TRUTH and do what pleases you the most.
Only you can know the exact effect you are wanting to achieve and what makes you happy.
I'd say play with your fabrics and pattern. Cut several mini pieces to just lay together to see the different effects. Make them small without seam allowances. You won't need to sew them, just lay them out beside each other. Accuracy won't be so important as you can overlap if an edge is crooked. You can still see, with a 1" square, how the colors are going to blend or contrast with one another.
And if you don't want to waste these little scraps after, paint a piece of wood white and decopage them to it in your pattern or in a scrappy or crazy quilt design with some embellishments added.
Smilesssss and huggggggs,

I like all the patterns, but to many prints together for my taste. I would put a few plain colors with it.

I like it the way it is! Super job on this.
