Here it is. Does it look woven to you? This is bugging me.

The corners appear yellow-green on the screen, but they are lime green.

I went back and made all the patches touch as if sewn (no gaps). Does it help? Something still looks "off" to me.

I think the "problem" is your corner squares are suppose to be background, but they are brighter then your "woven" parts. I think if you changed your yellow for the grey the background would recede and your woven would be more prominent.

I think Kass is right, Zozee. It will help balance it out more.

I think you need to sew it together to really tell. And maybe use something with a little more contrast to the yellow, instead of the light blue.

edit: oops, didn't see this second page of comments... Yes, changing the blue for the lime green might do it.

I made my first block today. Yep, I can see how this is going to be addicting once I get to start playing with other people's fabrics!

NZ the blue and yellow on your card trick block looks like rotating hearts. I like it. I'm jealous of your points. I have a hard time getting my points to come out nice.

When I took the insurance exam, it took me three times before I passed. Tell his not to give up, he will achieve his goals.
