Thank you all for your wonderful affirmations! I was feeling kind of like the 'bad quilter of the year' until I finally figured it out. The main requirement for the second design was that it had to use the squares I had already cut for the Turning Twenty, because I didn't have a lot of the different cherry fabrics to use.

The design is called "Newport Beach", found in a Judy Martin book named 'Scraps'. It's the quilt on the cover, in the top right corner. Instead of going with a true shadow design, I used what I had - the solid red. Here's the link in case anyone is interested.

LOVE LOVE your final design! I am sure it was a lot of work tearing apart the other but it looks BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing

Two totally different looks. The first one looks so busy and I can see how it just didn't work for you. But the second one is so lovely. It's restful and wonderful. Good that you went with your gut feeling and make the change. You weren't afraid to go outside the box and you came up with a fabulous quilt. Good job.

The first was way too busy, but I love the final version! Great job.
