Importance of a design wall
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]528285[/ATTACH]I was so concerned with balancing out individual whirligigs, darker colors offset by lighter colors, that a I did not think about middle of quilt. I should have offset background triangles with longer strips in making four squares. All pieces ona a design wall would have been helpful! Know I am not sure what to do, forget it and just use it in family room or make 4 individual wall hangings? I know I am not taking it all apart to correct. Good lesson learned. Next time I make this quilt, I will think it out a little better! Free moda pattern on their website.

Oh I don't know...I see an interesting secondary pattern in the center there, in white. Looks a bit like a Thunderbird to me! That would not be there if you'd added sashing or something.

I like it just how it is. :)

Sashing is a good idea. I thought about sashing before I discovered my mistake, but discarded the idea. May sleep on this one and change it up tomorrow. I do have some strips left over

Can't you just remove the center horizontal seam, keeping the 2 top & 2 bottom blocks together, then just rotate the bottom piece 180. It would make the center symmetric.

Paper Princess that is a good idea but then the quilt is top heavy on color on one side. However, that would probably be easier to live with than this image in the middle! [ATTACH=CONFIG]528292[/ATTACH]Sashing does not seem to eliminate my problem either. Off to get the seam ripper but that design wall is still needed

I think it looks sort of like a stylized angel!

It's Obi Wan Kenobi.

Love your blocks.

I LOVE design walls, I actually have 4 of them in my small apt.

Perhaps just light color strips the same as the background to float the whirligigs?? I love them they will be great whatever you choose to do!!!!
