Putting together this simply quilt using all my Mom's old leafy type green fabrics - just kind of a fun thing to do. When I laid them all out randomly, I thought it looked awful, so I came up with this idea. What do you think? Okay funky or just weird? Or maybe somebody has another idea of an arrangements?

I love the diagonal white, maybe work with all diagonal lines?

There are lots of quilts with X's on them. I personally like a more random look. So speaks the "quilter that has only made 1 and 1/2 quilts. LOL

I like the fabrics but I'd mix them up more. There is a spot where several of the same are together. But it's just my opinion!
Sounds like a fun project :)

I like it! Looks like several paths though a woodland glade.

I love all the greens, and the X, but I agree with Susan - there are a couple of areas with the same squares all together. I'd break those up if you can.
