I like it better with the triangles all going the same way. Makes my mind understand the black/white triangles better too.
|
I think if you organized the direction of the triangles, you would be happier with it. I love the colors. It just seems unorganized.
|
I would rearrange the blocks. There is too much light in the upper left and too dark in the lower right. I love the colors!

Since the color theme of the room is the antique gold with black furniture, I used the gold fabric for the triangles. Then I layed out the rows in the way the layer case was presented (light to dark). I started adding triangles from to give some more contrast, but I fill the gold is overpowering. I walked away from it for a couple of hours, and now I am asking for ideas. Do I need to rearrange the blocks? Get rid of some of the gold triangles? Just finish it as is? I was going to do the polkadot for binding, not border. I've done almost 1/2 of the blocks. |
Turn the diamonds pointing downward to the right one 90degree turning.. Then you will end up with 2 diagonal rows running top right to bottom left. Will that work.?
Initially to me it looked like a jumble of triangles. Colours didn't bother me. |
Yes I would rearrange the blocks and add more yellow blocks with a black or other print fabric like the top left block you have. I like the yellow triangles, but you need to add more black ones also.

Well I LIKE IT! I see diagonal rows of blocks...light, medium and the bottom right corner is the dark. Yes, i see "dancing" gold triangles in the wall hanging but I like it. It is fun and i just wish that I could see this in person. I have a feeling that I would like it even more!
It is not like you are going to try to re-do this are you? I say leave it alone and enjoy it. Oh, i went back to look at it and it is not sewn together...duh on my part! Take a picture of this arrangement ( ok, it is early here!). and then play with other arrangements and take pictures to compare. But, i also like it as it is. The gold is still going to be a standout but, i do like the fun of it. Sandy |

I rearranged the gold to go all the same way. There are a couple of triangles where you have the fabric pattern going opposite than the rest of that block (indicated by the red 'x'). - Hope you don't mind I did this. Seeing it this way maybe you can visualize where you might want to make changes. I still like the first arrangement. The gold triangles are no longer "fun". I like the movement in the first one. I wanna see what the border will look like. Sandy |
I thing the gold is to much... so just rearrange it to your liking...
|
I like the light to dark background is nice but I think I arrange all the triangles in the same direction then stand back and look at it. Sometimes if you walk away for an hour or so you will get a different opinion. Good luck with however you make it and please post a pic of the finished quilt.
