layout help with my first quilt!
This is my first shot at quilting. I figured I could probably sew pretty straight lines, so chose this pattern. Plus I love it!
I'm not quite happy with the layout of the small strips, but I can't quite figure out why. Does anyone have any suggestions for moving elements around? This current look is what the instructions said to do, but it's not grabbing me, yet. Or is it just because it's hanging on the wall?
I hope the color comes out ok on this site. On my Mac, I can never tell how images are going to look.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm about to go nuts with it.
Thanks. Lori

IMHO I feel the yellows should be more spread out. The eye immediately is drawn to the center where all the yellows seem to be converging. Other than that, I think the overall look is quite lovely and I look forward to seeing it complete.
