    I tried the light to medium to dark and I think it's working. I wanted to lay it out to see what direction to head next. So--more darker greens to expand that line, then to move to green/blue to end in darker blues is the plan. I used some of the fabrics for darks in the light squares--for lights in the dark squares. Did you follow that weak explanation? :roll: :lol:

    Here are two angles--can you see the movement? Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. :?

    Circles and stars? :?: :?: :?:

    I'll find the photo of the original pattern.... be right back...

    Found it!

    BUT--I changed something that may be effecting the movement. I changed the small triangles on the corners to dark fabrics rather than light. Here's the difference:

    I think the change slowed the movement--but that's okay--I needed to do what I needed to do. :roll: :wink:

    Looks great, and if you're having difficulty seeing the circles, just squint...

    I really see the movement on the side with the dark triangles in the corners. But I really like all you have done. :) Keep us posted on it as you finish it.

    Karla---I LOVE it!!! I can see the movement AND I love the progression from light to dark you have done.

    What size are the blocks? (I know you have probably told us-but I forget :D ) I am trying to get a perspective on the size of the quilt, so far.
