(Smile) Glad you worked it out allie (although hubby will so miss that 5th element quilt.::lil laugh:: )

Hope your unsewing party is a success

It's the 'eyes' and 'mouth' being a dark color that give it the 'face' look. If those could be a lighter color - even just the 'eye' triangles, I think it would take away the alien look. Can't wait to see the re-working.

Actually I like it - I see rows. But if it bothers you, try "removing" the center "circle" and replacing it with either a plain block or a di fferentblock. By removing it, you would eliminate the visual rows see the outer blocks.

Can not wait to see what you do with it.

great work, and I hope you can re-work the block settings to your liking, great border!
