    Do you have a netural fabric to use as sashing, I think it would be better.

    I like the 3 color sahing and would add a cornerstone to it.
    Like the way you put the birds as a focal in the CHS pattern. I think the 3 color sashing makes the quilt soft and breezy and feminine.
    peace

    With all the strong colors you have lost the birds. I would take the blue and green off of the blocks. JMHO

    I think I would use the blue floral (2nd one). I think the pink is to busy. I do like the blue corner blocks too.

    If you have enough of the navy with pink floral I would add a strip of it to the sides of the blocks and let that serve as the 'glue' to tie it all together. That will change your blocks to rectangles, but whoever dictated that they had to be square!

    I love your blocks - until - you added that dark blue floral. That just doesn't set well with me, sorry. I think I would either replace that all together, or leave it off one side of every other block and use that as the "sashing" between. does that make sense?

    I think I would take the large floral out of the mix--it's too dominant.

    Instead of regretting the double green strips, rip one off and set the blocks side-by-side. I think it would be easier to remove than puzzle how to fix what you don't like.
