Same here. I sewed together 2 blocks, hated it, and stuck it away. But took a picture to post to a friend, and might just finish it after all -- I made enough blocks to make it a king. But I am still not a fan of this pattern. I changed out the yellow squares to a gold and yellow batik, and it helped. Still don't like the yellow in the border, but they are all sewn together and not going to change them at this point. I think that if I had used a constant for the purple and lavender instead of scrappy, and the same green in the blocks as you did, I would have been much happier with the result.

This looks so cool and refreshing .i love it
Finally got mine finished!!
Love the front, hate the lumpy back, but hey ho, it is what it is.

Because I had swapped around a couple of the colour placements, I had a bunch of original units left over, so I devised a border to use these up.
So it's been a blast doing this, even though it's taken me far too long to complete the top. There's been some fantastic tops appearing here, and I'm full of admiration for those of you who have already completed the full quilt!!!!!
Cheers, K

Love the latest quilt posting. Nice serene color combo. I've finally got 4 columns done with sashing in between each large block. Spent alot of time ripping out today since I didn't like how my neutral 4 patches looked for the border 1 or border 2. And still debating if I want to use 4 patches for my constant stars or a combo of a solid square and 4 patches.

I was left with 4 tri-recs units plus some QST's. These I alternated with some new HST's, which I snowballed the corners to make white triangles to match those on the QST's.
Connie, the top ended up at 38.5" square.
Its the the first time I've tried doing a mono quilt and am very pleased with how it's come out.
Cheers, K
