I agree with lights in the centre, radiating out. And I am loving this forest floor idea!
BTW - personally, I'd do a similar layout with yours Bailey. I find if you don't get as many of the blocks that you like best, grouping them all in the centre really intensifies their impact, giving the illusion that there are more. Hope that makes sense;

Cut out another - the animal print which was the one I was originally going to do. See how that one works out.

I attached a picture of what I mean, to the left of the line I drew should be mostly yellow, with the ones that are pretty split yellow and pink closest to the lines. The ones I circled to the right of the line should move more towards yellow and the ones I circled to the left of the line should move over the line towards pink ....

Bailey, I wonder if you also add some border pieces to your design wall, if that won't change the look too. Lighter/medium might help bring out some more of the lighter colors in your blocks. You could fold and hang the fabric next to the blocks to test drive them.
I think your blocks are awesome, and I am pulling for you to find a solution so that you love your quilt too :wink: :D:D:D

I was going to use cubes but decided the fences (like those in the OBW Encore book, page 75, Encroachment) would be more appropriate with my animal print. THere is really not that much difference between the light and dark hexagong...pretty subtle. Anyway, I'd appreciate any suggestions for moving the hexagons. I was also thinking of moving the fence off center (it wasn't there intentionally). I would do that by moving hexagons from the right edge to the left edge (or vice versa). It's REALLY hard to move the fence :-(
Any other ideas?
BTW I have to fill in that little space below the center of the fences...no problem with that.
