My first impression was that the poinsettas make it look off-balanced. Otherwise, it's beautiful!

I like it! Look at it as a Yin-Yan combination...
Colors are fine...if not to your liking, do another and gift this one. Now that you have one under your belt, the next one will be more to your liking, .... nothing wrong with this one.

Tired of the rain yet? Not from Seattle are you? :shock:

I thought of this as well, almost seems like there should have been another row of the green? The colors are beautiful, I don't think that is what is making your eye/brain think something is off. It is a very nicely put-together runner though!

The colors don't balance out each other...Tooo much light and not enough dark..But you are moving in the right direction...

I'm on my second one and still having problems. I'm getting "tent" in the middle. Don't think I will do this one again. Oh well. My sis tells me with each quilt, you learn something. I think I've learned not to do this pattern again... hehehe

No, your color choices are not off! These are very pretty colors and it is a very nice table topper. Be proud!

This is where I found the fabric online. One of the women in my quilting group let me borrow hers.

Not sure if I'm sending that link correctly, but I hope so.
