I actually wound up moving it to the bottom, so it transitions much better and doesn't stuck out so much. Thanks for the tip though, I was fighting with it all day.

Another fabulous rendition.

I like the way k3n described the difference between the octs and hexes. I don't mind piecing either. But if I was undecided about which way to go with a particular fabric, that would be a great way to make the choice.

I'm really entranced by all the movement in this one (octs)- all those whirlpools/vortices churning away, while the hexes in the op were much more subdued (because of the blending).

Love them both. Thanks for posting.

I just separated them by value and color and started throwing them on the ground. If I didn't like where a block was, or if it stood out too much, I moved it around. I took most of the day to decide on this layout; I'd move a block or two, do something else, come back to it, realize it looked awful, and move more things. I really like OBW's that have a pillar of color in them, and since the red was so vibrant in this fabric I thought it would be a perfect fit for that style. The book is really helpful for deciding how to lay your blocks out, I highly recommend it.
thanks
