Wow, that's one busy quilt. This may be one where I wish I had stuck to my plan to use a single fabric for each colour 
Oh well, we'll see how it goes when I clear some room on my design wall. First, I have 2 mysteries lined up for tomorrow, and one to finish from today - so no Bonnie quilting for me for a couple of days.

I couldn't resist and put together one block. Here it is. I think I'm going to like the final result and I am not a scrappy or busy quilt lover, so that's saying something. I'll do some more in the morning. Happy New Year, everyone!

I am not sure I like it, umm but I will put together a block or two, what I am pleased about is that because of the colours I have not gone too scrappy, I think that will denote how the quilt turns out................... it's very busy!

I didn't love it when I first saw it but the more I looked the more I liked it. Here's mine laid out. Had to cut a few blue squares and get the green in there too. Don't know if I am loving the color changes I made.

I couldn't wait to play around with my Blocks this morning. I have 5 kiddos here that woke up at 0730. Wow. After staying up til at least 2. I might swap out the center block for a solid fabric. What do you think? That's just a piece of paper right now. Haha. Maybe Aqua?
Ugh. Can't seem to post a picture.

I agree that it looks pretty busy, but I've come this far and sticking it out. Her photo looks great. I've decided that the "new" turquoise 3-1/2" squares will all be same fabric and not scrappy. I really didn't have a choice as I only have 1 piece that can make enough squares. Anyhow, I tested a bit and I DEFINITELY think the constant cornerstones help pull it together.
