I changed the design a bit so it ends with a floral rather than a light. I added many new florals to my collection, and I greened up the light side. My goal was to give it more flower power, and uh, I think that happened alright. :lol: I'll post the before ones, then the news ones. Let me know which you prefer.

I'll be making small projects for a while--doll quilts, table runners, wall hangings... so I won't have to worry about a complicated lay out unless I make another bigger quilt. I'll be making log cabins squares along with a second project indefinitely. They're so much fun to create. I got two quilts back from the quilters on the 24th, so those just got the bindings on today... NOW starts the Bargello!!!

The quilt from the old design--sold!

Better color. I'll have to be very mindful of which blocks go together.

Perhaps it is because the color is off (too red you said), but I prefer the before one and its layout. Maybe I am just into a calmer phase right now! Your work is beautiful and the later ones really do pop! I love log cabins and am about to start another one very soon.
