    I think it looks great. Can't tell any are going the wrong way. I would finish as it is.

    I have made LOTS of D9P and never even tried to get my directional blocks all going the same way.. I value what little sanity I have left too much!! just smile and stitch.. tell anyone who says anything that you planned it that way... or if they don't like it to try it themselves..

    You mean it is not supposed to look like that? I would feel lucky to get the other blocks in the right place. Go with the flow.

    Those look like Michigan Light houses....are they? the red one look like the lighthouse at the entrance to Lake Macatawa....brings back memories. I think the variation makes it more enjoyable.

    I think it's just fine the way it is.

    I agree, just fine the way it is. I love your lighthouse fabric. Hopefully, you can just smile to yourself when you look at it and remember all these good thoughts that have been sent your way!

    I think if you are unhappy with it, what would YOU do to be happy and feel good about your quilt. If you have not quilted it out and wanted to take some apart, then do so. However IF YOU like it as is, that is what counts. It's your quilt. By the way it's very beautiful

    I did a Warm Wishes quilt for my ggs (with monkeys)intentionally going in all different directions. I say "leave it".

    I tend to put fabrics all in one direction, but then I remember the quilt will be seen from any number of directions, so I shoudn't bother!
    Good luck, whatever you decide!
