    Yeah, it's adorable, but it doesn't seem to match the more muted reds & greens you have in the rest of the quilt. I'd save it for something else.

    I think it is the green background behind the trees that is throwing off the colour scheme. Too yellow green rather than sage green. Cute top!

    Yes, I think I'd change it, too. In fact, I might think about taking the 2 all-over white ones out as well. All the rest of the blocks look like a block inside a block. Those 3 seem odd. Sorry.

    I also think you should replace that block with something else. It doesn't fit with the others very well.

    I think the fabric could work if you bordered it like many of the other blocks are bordered. Nana-up-north's point of the other unbordered blocks looking odd rings true for me, too, but they seem more OK because of their color. If you don't care to border the tree block, I think I'd take it out, too. I can't really say what is wrong with it, but it does jump out of the quilt a bit.

    Looking at it tonight... other than the fact the picture is posted up side down.... I'd leave it exactly as is! Love it.... we don't have to have all our blocks exactly the same.

    I agree but maybe the three blocks referred to could just be changed to have a border around them like the other blocks do. I think I would try that and see what it looked like. I like the "camping quilt" idea!

    I see it right side up on my Ipad. I also agree to leave it as is. Every screen will see colors differently. I like what my Ipad "sees".
