I'm no expert either - but I think Omak has some good suggestions. At the very least - Don't throw it away! Put it away for a while. When I come back to a quilt I'll like is so much better! I think you will like it when you aren't frustrated. It really is pretty.

Thanks everyone. I put it away, but am still thinking about it. I saw one where the quilter put the blocks on black fabric and it looked like a coral reef, I may do that...later.

This will be the first quilt I have gotton half way done and then threw in the trash. I considered adding cubes but I don't think that will help and I don't want to put even more effort into such an ugly quilt. I can't tell whick blocks are dark and which are light, so my daughter tried to salvage this. Is there any hope? Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this? |

The cube I stuck in there isn't the right size. It is actually a block from I swap I am in. I have to send it back. I think it looks kind of neat. I am going to try to make some smaller cubes. Then I will spend some more time forcing my family members to move the blocks around. I seem to be able to see what it wrong but I can't see how to fix it!!!

I don't mean to hurt feelings but I like the top arrangement better than with the added 'cubes'. I think the top one looks like it swirls around...will make a nice quilt. I would border it with a purple or tan...but I am not the quilt police and will wait and be pleasantly surprised when I see how yours comes out. :-) Don't give up.

Fireworkslover, thanks for the ideas. I thought the red ones looked stupid, just didn't know what to do about it. I will try your suggestions tonight and then lock up the kitties!!!!!!
