So I thought I'd make this, and I don't like it. Is this how it's supposed to look?
I'm about ready to scrap this one too!

Don't scrap it!! It is beautiful!

How about rearranging the blocks to where they are all the same? Like all the ones with the little green tips in the same block? It will almost look like those spinning table toppers that some of the quilters have been making.

Or, have one half of the block one piece of fabric? A solid or tone on tone. Then try playing around with the blocks.

I agree to rearranging the blocks and matching up same strips. I've already started my second one. Don't give up.

thanks

Go ahead and finish it. It will look great once done. I like scrappy.

Keep going, it is looking great! I bet you will be thrilled with the finished project.

If you really don't care for this quilt top (which I happen to think is quite nice), why don't you consider swapping your blocks with someone else for yardage? Seems like a win-win to me. Just a suggestion - not meant to influence you. Thanks.

I'm actually working on my first tube quilt. I'm also playing around with the layout. It is actually scrappy. I've used different pink, yellow and green prints. This is what I'm leaning towards right now. Wonder how many times I will change my mind!
