I shifted some of the blues, all three of the reds and two of the purples. I was happy with this.
Then I tried to zig zag the design, but I got to this point and decided it didn't bring anything at all to the party, so I put the blocks back.
Again, there's nothing wrong with the zi-zag, it just didn't ring any bells for me.
So now I'll be sewing this together.
I meant to show this photo the other day, but apparently I forgot. These are most of the fabrics in the quilt. (I see I accidentally chopped off the fabric I paired with the blue at the far right. Sorry about that.)

Seeing the fabrics close up helps see how vibrant they are vs on your design wall. It takes a lot of time to move blocks around, glad you tried a zig and a zag but quit when it didn’t ring your bell. I made a log cabin quilt with a diagonal line to the edge and then , a third of the way down, diagonal back the other way……AFTER laying out three traditional log cabin patterns.
WOW-- what a labor of total LOVE that was, Millie, moving them all around and then--BACK AGAIN!! Holy Moley, girl!!:)))
It really looks beautiful=-nice job on the arrangement--you have such a good "eye" I really think this is beautiful.. hugs, Julierose
Smart to know when to stop and return to the "original" plan . . . this non-ziggy layout is going to be so pretty!
