Thanks CarrieM!

I remember last year with the FWS how I got to not being able to "see" the blocks to pick out what needed to be added or skipped ... I'm pretty much there now. I really appreciated then, and again now, the help of my fellow trail riders!

Wow...really nice looking. One comment....a few of the block have dark backgrounds with only a hint if yellow and it detracts from the balance in my view. Useable but place them carefully. My eye was drawn to them right away.

While I only need 72 blocks for the size I want, I will be making extras. That way when I get to dealing with placement, I am not locked into just the 72 and can play til I feel the placement works before putting them all together.

When I posted the first 45, someone noted that I had a problem as there was only one or two with the minimal-yellow and dark edges, so I worked on getting a few more into the mix. I think that will help provide a little "cloud-effect" amidst all the bright sun of this quilt, much like the muddy-blocks in the FWS ... and give the eye a place to rest. After all, IRL my eyes are photophobic!
