    Although I get what you mean I have to agree with the other members, it's beautiful just the way it is, I understand it's not how you saw it in your minds eye.
    I have learned that you should never look at your quilt up close. I had always hated my sampler quilt until I saw a photo of it. The look of the whole quilt is much better than just parts of it.

    Put it together another way or put sashing between the blocks.

    You have created a "variation" of the traditional log cabin. Now all you need is a catchy name for it. Log Cabin Branching Out?

    I still can't figure out what is "wrong" with it. I like it the way it is, but the final decision is yours.

    I like it the way it is. The color combinations are great and I would have thought you designed it that way.

    Only you will know, finnish it,, it's beautiful.

    If youtry to be a perfectionist in quilting you will go nuts. Besides, it's handmade, annd you're only human, right.

    I believe handmade things should look handmade not mmass produced.
