I love it. It reminds me of all the colors back east. Here in NM the one tree we bought and planted was supposed to turn red in the fall. It kind of did, but that just isn't the same as those colors in thousands of trees. My nephew just sent me a picture when he and his family were just at one of the Finger Lakes. And I didn't even notice them because I was looking at all the beautiful fall colors. You'll be happy with it when you finish it. I also love that pattern!

Maybe I've been working on it too long... I'll put it away and peek first thing tomorrow to see if I feel differently.
Thank goodness I didn't plan on making a whole quilt--just a table runner and a wall hanging, so only 42 blocks are started. Phew! I completed 10 tonight so I could see how I liked it.

I think you should carry some of the center gold further out in the block to let the eye flow thru the setting. It is lovely but I agree it does need soemthing to pop it. I also would try it with out the blue and green stripe that is next to the gold and brown strip. I think that is throwing it all off. Try covering that strip with your finger on the screen and you will see what I mean. Just my opion but you asked. All heads work together. good luck

I didn't see this had popped up again and I'm not getting emails to let me know... I think I posted a picture of it done, but here's another.
I haven't quilted it yet...
It didn't fit 100% on the table, but you get the idea.
Thinking I could sell the top and let someone else finish it! ;)
