Spring Fling Design is set!

Here are all the colors on the design wall. As you can see the design wall is still too small to show all the parts of the blocks on the far right. This is enough to see the color arrangement. As you all likely know, things look different in real life from the way they do in the camera. I will be doing some shifting around.

In this photo the 3x3 blocks are shown all together, which emphasizes the "separate-ness" of each block. I wanted to show you what this looks like so you can really see the effect of what shifting one small block does to the design.

Here is the final design. One component block of each set is bumped out into an adjacent block which allows the zigzag to appear continuous. 

The transitions from green to blue, blue to violet, violet to pink and pink to orange work best. The green to yellow doesn't work as well because of the value difference between the green and yellow. My next task is to see if I can shift the colors around to make those transitions more effective or at least minimize the contrast between them. I can't make the transition invisible because of the difference in the value of the two colors.

I may need to break one or two of my internal rules about this quilt.

Oh. Gee. Darn.
