    I agree with Tartan, it's lovely just the way it is.

    Like others I really liked the colors and I wouldn't change anything. These colors go very well together!

    I followed the tutorial for this quilt listed on Charisma's thread (sorry I didn't bookmark it) but downsized the blocks to make it smaller. My quilt finished at 66 1/2 square. My squares were cut at 3 1/4 (so they finish at 2 3/4 inches). The squares for the HST were cut at 3 3/4 and then squared up to 3 1/4.

    The hardest part about this quilt is laying it out to get a good distribution of your fabrics (I didn't want the same fabric to be closer than 3 or 4 blocks apart).

    I love this! It's where I want to be in a year or so skill wise! I think the combination of prints adds to the prismatic affect, especially in the whites. Perfect!
