Although I get what you mean I have to agree with the other members, it's beautiful just the way it is, I understand it's not how you saw it in your minds eye.
I have learned that you should never look at your quilt up close. I had always hated my sampler quilt until I saw a photo of it. The look of the whole quilt is much better than just parts of it.

You have created a "variation" of the traditional log cabin. Now all you need is a catchy name for it. Log Cabin Branching Out?

I still can't figure out what is "wrong" with it. I like it the way it is, but the final decision is yours.

I like it the way it is. The color combinations are great and I would have thought you designed it that way.

Only you will know, finnish it,, it's beautiful.

If youtry to be a perfectionist in quilting you will go nuts. Besides, it's handmade, annd you're only human, right.

I believe handmade things should look handmade not mmass produced.
