    I love your quilt! It is an inspiration to those of us who love scrap quilts--I wouldn't change a thing!

    I second that. Made my eyes go wonky from the 3d effect. I love it just the way it is.

    I don't really have any suggestions, but what I see is beautiful. Keep going.

    I love what you have done. I would not change it at all. I love Bonnie Hunter designs and she really understands how hard to throw aways the little scraps. She is so good to let us make her patterns. I use a lot of them for families in need. Aslo I have a pet project giving them to special needs children and cancer patients. You just don't worry about doing the pattern differently. Its very beautiful. Marvel in Ok.

    I am a scrappy-quilt-aholic and I wouldn't change a thing. You can definitely tell the difference between the darks and the others.

    I don't see any problem with your quilt. It's delightful!

    I am considering making more blocks using more creams and off whites, then making two quilts so that half of these blocks will be used in the second quilt. Would that cut down on the busy-ness?

    Any suggestions would be welcomed!

    The second pic is a close up of what I am referring to with the lights and mediums.

    Looks good to me. I was under the impression that scrappy is scrappy and anything goes

    I like it as it is, it has a 3-D effect. Really cool!
