Disappointed on this one...
This Mosaic #8 was definitely cooler in my head. Disregard the messed up pinwheel, its since been fixed. On its own each block is nifty, together im not liking how they look.
Thoughts on how to proceed?

Are you planning on making more blocks? If so, I would focus on making ones with more contrast like the ones in the center. They are really cool blocks. Alternate the blocks that have low contrast with ones with great contrast. Use sashing between the blocks.

Hello
I think these are nice blocks, I like any sort of mosaic tiles :-)
I personally would probably finish the square around the pinwheel centre in the sashing. At the moment they look chopped of for me. I tried to sketch it out in paint, I hope it makes sense, what I am trying to say. But it is a really neat pattern, I like it.

I think I would choose a solid color that is in one of the blocks, or white, and set them together with plain blocks, then do the block pattern design in quilting in the plain blocks. But that's me.

You could try alternating a second block pattern between the blocks. I like the hourglass block... it makes the other blocks look set on point. Bonnie Hunter did this in her Chunky Churn Dash pattern, see picture below. You could just try something like that and see what you think. Or use another block... Definitely use more contrast in the second block pattern.

You might try keeping all of the high contrast blocks in the center, and put the lower contrast blocks all around them as a border, kind of like you have them laid out in the photo. Will there be sashing between the blocks? That would make a big difference in the way they all "play" together too.
