    I think it is pretty. The only thing I might move are some of those squares that are really dark and close together, at the top.

    I've learned a new technique that I'm finding very helpful. Take a picture of your quilt in black and white. That will tell you right away which blocks are too light.

    I've used it on my OBW and also selecting fabric for a bargello and it is really helpful.

    Now you can see that you have blocks that one leg is real weak (where the lighter fabrics is) and you see at the top that you have alot of darks at the top. Now you can move those around to make it more balanced.

    Good job, keep going as I also love scrappy quilts and this is what it is suppose to look like.
