I set the first five-row section aside as it was getting a bit unwieldy. I figured I'd make the next four rows and sew them together, then sew the five-row to the four-row to put the top together. If I had sewn those two rows together wrong, I would have had to take them apart. They are the two left-most vertical rows in the photo above. But once I got them on the wall, I had to stop. The design has great appeal, and I have to give it serious thought. I really like that off-center sunburst, and have to decide if I want to keep it, or continue on with my original plan.
This was the original plan, btw. The finished quilt, if I keep according to my plan, will be a mirror image of this one.
What do you think? The original? Or the Sunburst?

The Starburst!!! It just jumped off the screen at me and said "Wow!"
I always sew "twosies" (sew 1 to 2, 3 to 4, 5 to 6, etc.) then "foursies" (1+2 to 3+4, etc) It helps keep the unruly mass more manageable. I also put a big pin or something in the top block of each column. I'm sure you thought of that but just in case...
I really like this and can't decide which version I like better.
The Starburst.
Sunburst - clearly a rainbow project but also unexpected and WOW all at the same time!
I love the serendipitous sunburst! In comparison to the S-curve, there's more obvious wow. The strong simplicity of the S-curve belies the very meticulous planning of the blocks, and the mystery unfolds slowly.
While plan A is quite nice, I have to vote for the sunburst!
When you accidentally sewed the first two rows together, the universe set up the sunburst. I say go with it.
I really like the starburst and have since you showed the glimpse of it with the first oops. I'd keep it.
