To me they look fine. There are enough plain uncomplicated fabrics to balance the busy floral ones, and they're in the right places. I think coming up with the right colors and combinations of fabrics is the hardest part, but it's the art. Putting it together is the craft.

If anyone knows how to get that "wow" factor it's her.
I think every quilter should watch it twice.
She does know her colors. JMHO.

Don't think you did anything "wrong". Quilting is all a matter of choice. Your second quilt would be beautiful if the floral row were "fussy-cut", placing the same pattern in the same direction on each block. Too late for this one; try it next time!

I love them both, but I think you might like them better if you used only one or two rows of each color instead of 2 and three together. What I mean is, make the bands of color more narrow, and make more repeats of the bands of color. Does that make sense?
