Maybe try rearranging them so that the darker ones are more in either a diagonal or an "S" shape going thru the area? I don't care for all the dark on just the left side. This is just my opinion, tho.

Wow, the orange is FAB, and with red, it's a STUNNER!!! Be sure to throw that red in the border - it makes the quilt pop. I love, love, love it. And it's one of those that I never would have picked out to be so pretty from the beginning fabric. Just goes to show you...

no ideas that you haven't heard already,

I did say that you can pick the ugliest fabric that you could find, that you were were looking for color more than anything as it doesn't resemble the original print what so ever when it is done,

though looking at it again I think that I would consider starting a dark bottom and head to lighter ground at the top,

I really like it and I would move the dark more to the middle, I think, working the medium and lights out to the border. but it's hard to say without trying it. I can't tell you how many times I moved mine all about.

It's beautiful colors, I like brights much more.

I tried to pick the ugliest frabric with colors I liked. it is pretty cool to see it almost done.

have rolled it up in a fleece throw. Need to look at something else for awhile.

I will work on it some more in a couple hours.

Thanks a bunch!
