I like your cathedral windows in this setting looks great, but I have a question. If you haven't sewn any of the sets of four together yet have you tried using all four colors for the one big block yet. I noticed you are using two creams in one and two yellows in the other. Try using one of each color in each set and see what you think. Love the purple background. I know your grandaughter will love the quilt when it is done.You might also use the one in the middle perhaps in the very center of the quilt with her name and date of graduation on it of as the label itself--or put in the extra windows and pics of her throughtout her life , from infancy to graduation, with a graduation pic. in the very center or special info. in those blocks. This would be a great memory quilt like this, especially since you have lots of time to do it. Just a thought. I personally like the extra window. Have you thought of using a bright blue if you have the fab. there, if you decide not to put any info or pic. there.Be sure to post pic.
I am currently working on a 10 minute block only using larger blocks for a graduation quilt for a young lady at our Church. Plan to give it to her on Sunday.I am putting together the back rows tonight. I have spent 3 days on it so far, I thought I would be through with it tonight, but other things got in the way, so I will finish it tomorrow. Gerbie

BTW, I actually like the extra one.

I think the block looks great either way, love your fabric colors.

I think it is hard to tell which would look better when you have just tried one extra block. If you tried with four around one of the coloured areas you could see how it would look with that "circle" effect highlighting each of the coloured insets.
I think it will be gorgeous either way.
