I agree with one of the other board members, to me the triangles going in different directions is distracting. I think the gold would be fine if they all were in the same direction. Just my opinion...

I love the gold with the black blocks but not so much with the lighter blocks. Mix um up & let us see again!

I think the gold is over powering it. I don't even know if a different arrangement will help or not. You could try. Maybe if you arranged the blocks so that the gold forms blocks might give it new dimention.

I like it...very much. I like the way it runs from light to dark on the diagonal. The only thing I'm not liking the the gold block in the upper left hand corner. I wouldn't have any gold blocks, only the gold triangle. I like how you have the triangle place in different places on your block and turned different. in I would love a bed size quilt like this.

I would rearrange the gold triangles to all go one way...then maybe make the dark color blocks into rows and do a dark row, then light row, then dark row...and see how that looks..

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 think it looks great after you re-arranged I wouldn't worry about the fabric going in different directions the gold takes the spot light and the direction of the fabric is un-noticed.
