Great job! I love the color palette you are using. I have been working on that Katja Marek for a couple of years too with very different colors. I loved picking the fabrics and putting the blocks together. It was so much fun ...... I actually finished the top last summer and have been very casually trying to get the hand quilting done. It just doesn’t seem to satisfy my creative mood anymore......hopefully I will manage to finish it this winter. I need to set weekly goals and make myself do it.

Mumto2 I think it looks great - using so many solids and TOT looks so effective. Well done for completing it as well! When you say the purples stand out too much I assume you mean the small chain that is in the middle? Yes they do stand out but I don’t think it is a bad thing - your eye gets drawn to that part first before looking at all the details surrounding it. All quilts need contrast in my opinion .

Yes, the purple chain in the center is what I am still a bit tempted to switch out. If it was a flower I would have removed it. I haven’t quilted that part yet so I still have time........
