Default Hate it yesterday but love it today quilt

Yesterday cut up/sewed 2 jelly rolls into rail fence blocks Put them on my design wall and they are terrible. Loud, ugly and just nasty. I knew I had to add something to it to calm it down. Decided to make small flying geese that finished at 1.5x3, stacked four in a row so same length as the RF blocks in black an white...geese are black. Made a boat load (may be my favorite phrase) RF blocks back on the wall, added the FG. Now each row has 2 flying geese blocks randomly place. OMG...what was terrible yesterday is doable today. The black and white geese strip block calms down the chaos so the squares that were screaming yesterday are playing nicely with their neighbors.

Learned a lot with this quilt. In my brain scrappy is too busy. Need to have color control and something to calm it down. Now if I can remember what I did! Don't ask for pic. No idea how to upload pic.
