I agree, I like it but if you want more contrast add some sashing in the beige color with corner stones in the deep blue.

I also like the subtleness of the colors. I think if you put a solid sashing between the blocks and a small solid border then add the 2nd color as a larger border it would look good. You did a great job both in picking the colors and in making the block.

Finish it. The pattern and colors are subtile thus giving it a calming effect.

What would I do without all you guys? You are so great with all your opinions and even better with the encuragment!

Here are 2 blocks. They are not put together yet - so maybe sashing later but I think your right - it is not as bad as I thought
:D

I agree keep working on it and once you have put it together the way you like it best add contrast with appliques or other embellishments-maybe yoyo flowers or something like that. Once it is done you will love it!
