Not sure I like this. Is it my fabric choices?

Still, pretty.

I couldn't put my finger on it until I read all the responses. I love the mirror image of it all - it is so cool :) I do think it's the print sizes in the two. I would not chuck this one though as it is really really pretty :) I would put a small accent - like 1/2" small in red around the first part then the two borders as is then maybe bind it in red. That would be really sharp imho. Okay, I think oddly I know. I think I'd take off the borders on this one and give it a go.

I love the colors and the fabrics. It's pretty as is. I wondered if what you are seeing are the two green center triangles that have some of the red flower in them. All the others are just green. That's my take on it. But if it were me, I'd leave it alone. It's great as it is.
