I agree with Paulette Poe...Gold triangles aimed in the same direction would give a lot of interest to the quilt and give it a more uniform pattern. I do like the light to dark. Interesting.

I agree with this, too many different fabrics....but thats me LOL

I might break up the gold with a larger square of some of the darker fabrics. All the blocks don't have to be the same size. But I agree with the others - too much gold.

I agree. Try moving the gold triangles so they are all going in the same direction...or try having half pointing northwest and the other half southeast.

Good Morning, I would rearrange the blocks and the gold triangles, try working them into a said block... change the pattern you are trying to form- light to dark. Put the triangles the same direction. It will wow you in the end.

Rearrange the blocks and add a couple of blocks with red and thank you for sharing

I would consider putting black sashing between the blocks or set the blocks in sets of four and then add the sashing to calm down the "business" of the squares you have made. I like the colors but I agree with others that the triangles pop out too much as presented. A different order that focus on the direction of triangles might help also.

I like it just like it is!

I'm certainly not very experienced, but it "feels" a little unbalanced to me. I think I'd rearrange the squares so when squinting, the darks either flow out from the center or frame a lighter center, or have alternating rows of light to dark, then dark to light. The yellows might work better then, but they do seem a bit distracting in this layout.

Neat fabrics, though. I think I'd like the polka dot as a binding.

This is a 36 block square. 24 have gold centers and 10 have various other colored center. Balancing color in any quilt is important - no matter how you rearrange these squares, the color balance is going to pop and right now all that is "popping" is gold, gold, gold. If that is what you want, great, but what if you changed out some of the gold for more subdued - look at just the bottom row - looks better color wise.

Secondly - your layout might look more appealing if more controlled. Study quilts that look scrappy and why they are appealing - usually they will have alternating layout designs. Like upper left hand corner, bottome right hand corner all the way across that row - then the next row will be reversed and on opposite corners - then third row back to the same as first fow. Hope this makes sense.

This much you do know - you know you don't like what you have now - and can learn why. Don't give up, this has potential and will be beautiful when finished and you will know a whole lot more for the next creative project.
