Well I thought I would share mine with you all I am pleased with it.

Cutebuns, the route I took was very challenging (Y seams) I don't know what I was thinking. But I got it together and trimed and bordered. It is kind of restful pattern. I will bind it with the dark blue fabric.

I plan on making another with different fabric. This time the right way.

Ooooh I love this one! Such calming colors.

if you cut them on the original lines, you can cut them again, I marked every two repeats, so cut that way there is 6 repeats showing in the picture.

I LOVE it Bailey! you might want to try an S curve of the light and then fill in the edges with the dark
it may not be contrasting enough, spread out the ones that look to similar in color or texture.
if its not looking right to you, just know we LOVE IT!!!

Thanks everyone. Moved some more blocks around - any better? I will play a little more but I think it is destined for the closet........

Cut out another - the animal print which was the one I was originally going to do. See how that one works out.

i think you have a lot of blocks that are predominantly yellow spread around, step back and find the ones that are mostly yellow and move them to the top left corner, the bottom right looks good, and then shift the mostly pink one to go through the middle at an angle, I think that would look really good.

I attached a picture of what I mean, to the left of the line I drew should be mostly yellow, with the ones that are pretty split yellow and pink closest to the lines. The ones I circled to the right of the line should move more towards yellow and the ones I circled to the left of the line should move over the line towards pink ....

Thank you so much! Maybe that will work. Great help actually pointing them out for me. Thanks, off to give it a try.
