I think it is absolutely charming. I like the placement of most of the yellow and white. The only area I might move around is a few of the yellow and white squares right above the critters. I might group the yellows to be more in a line shining down on the animals with the whites on each side. And, a first thought when I saw it was the idea of adding a butterfly or two floating about two-thirds the way up in the sunshine. But, lovely, lovely work.

watercolor quilt
Just like you took this pic, I would switch them around several dif ways and take pics. Don't look at the pics for a day, then put all the pics side by side and see which one suits you. Personally I would like to see the yellows more in the middle going down from dark to like, JMHO.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]569589[/ATTACH] This is my first watercolor quilt. Well, actually, my second attempt, but the first was regulated to "file 13". It is 2" squares, unsewn. Bunny and raccoon are painted on separate fabric to be appliquéd after sewing the background together, if I get that far! I was attempting to make it look like the sun is shining on my critters. Do I need to reverse my light and dark yellows? Should the yellows be eliminated altogether? This is the first quilt new quilters should make. I have learned so much about color value with this project. Still, lots more to learn. All suggestions will be appreciated.
