OT...Oh...I love the idea of doing this block in two colors! What colors did you use and how did you lay them out? Thanks.

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But since you don't like it, finish it and gift it to your daughter.

Oh, I'm sorry. I found a picture of it and I was thinking of the two main colors I used. It actually has three colors.
The picture doesn't show but the fabric colors are very light prints. One guild member said the quilt looked very soothing. I did very little quilting on it to keep it soft and cuddly.

How about black sashing and borders??

Oh, I think mine was the 5 Minute Block. LOL

I agree with everyone who loves the colors and the pop of the gold. I also agree that sashing would enable you to "tone down" the colors that you're not loving together. I'd put several blocks on different backgrounds to see what color you'd like best. Finally, I've been following all the postings on QB for Bonnie Hunter's Allietare. She put her blocks on point, which worked fantastically for her two different blocks, but several people had used different colors and found that joining the blocks in regular rows rather than on point made more "sense" for their particular blocks. You might find that arranging your blocks on point would give you a different viewpoint. I think that the bottom line is that your colors and execution are great, but that you might enjoy all your work just a bit more if you spend some time with a flannel board or maybe EQ to see whether there is a "perfect" arrangement that would please both you and your daughter.

I like the colors also. As for the "busy" look, what about auditioning a dark sashing between the blocks? This may give the eye a place to rest and break up the busy look.

Personally, I luv the colors and don't think it's too busy at all.....

I love the fabrics...if you don't really care for it...your daughter will! That block turns out nice, I might try to make some. Have admired them but never made one.
