I tried the red blocks in the middle and didn't like them there so I took most of them out. I also took out some of the tan blocks. I tried smaller, calmer cubes and they didn't work either. I am still not crazy about this. So, I am going to assemble it and use it to practice my "short arm" quilting.

Sometimes you just want to get it done. I know the feeling. Please show us the finished project. It will still keep someone warm and will be filled with lots of love.

I agree with Sandy about the "swirling" on the top arrangement. It was my first reaction, and I found myself trying to follow the "swirl" ... (two votes means it is a winner, right??? LOL) the one thing about that top picture was - - I didn't even really notice the blocks that were more solid ... I can't imagine the whole thing bordered with tan or purple - - this is really getting good! So fun (I hope it is for you, also!) <wave>

It's hard to be sure about colors from pics on line.It's your quilt,so do what works for you.The quilt after quilted might turn out to be a fav & kudos to your DD for helping.Every quilt made brings it's own learning curve with it.If/when you do another OBW,it will prob seem very easy.

I am still struggling. I probably should have left it alone, bit I tried again. It just seems like there is a nice quilt somewhere in these block but I can't find it!
