As always, I never stick to the original pattern layout. I didn't particularly like this layout either so I changed it to suit myself. Of course this means a nightmare job of rearranging blocks and then of course, I tend to change my mind halfway through the quilt anyway!!!
So...I have three options to chose from
This was my original option but I dislike quilt tops that draw your eye to the centre (unless it's an art quilt). My preference is to take a little journey around the quilt, surveying the entire piece.
Option Two is a bit subtler in the centre, maybe too subtle? It does strengthen the blue colours though.
I think Option Three is more balanced, the focus is still the centre yet the stronger reds and rusts draw the eye around the quilt.
Which would you choose?
And yes, I know, there are blocks missing...my next task. This will also probably mean that once they're complete, I'll change my mind again...about the layout. Hehe!
