    Sunshine, I think you are almost there, I like it much better now. I might try centering the pinks and then let the other colors flow out to the corners.
    Here is one of my secret tools. It takes my brain off the quilt and just shows me the light and dark values. (using the red side) I got these out of my grand daughters coloring book and she doesn't mind sharing at all. 8-)

    I have a larger one of these. It's called a "Value Finder". It's red w/ a cardboard frame around it. It eliminates the color so you can see value only. For using with red fabrics you can use a green plastic file pocket, that you'd put in a 3 -ring notebook (buy at an office supply area).

    If you use your border fabric to cut triangles, sew them onto the 4 corners of these hex's, you can treat them as a square :wink:

    I had to cut another repeat to get the few blocks I needed.
    I played around with the others and here is what I came up with.
    Another quilt come Fall
