Just a little kooky. I'd put a border of 2 of the larger blocks on the top and one side, then a border of 3 of the larger blocks on the other side and the bottom. Or something asymmetrical like that. I initially liked the friendship star, but now I'm not so sure?? But - I REALLY like this quilt! So bright and joyful!

I didn't realize just how tiny the blocks were until your last post. While reducing a block's size usually increases the cuteness factor, it would be a shame to lose the impact of those tropical prints. I love the layout of large blocks surrounding the small but am intrigued by Kristin's suggestion of mixing up the sizes. Nix the Friendship block. In this instance, it's not being friendly.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035433796631359696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-25739134837901251292008-04-25T13:05:00.000-04:002008-04-25T13:05:00.000-04:00Fantastic - I love the effect you get from the con...Fantastic - I love the effect you get from the contrast in scale.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378836466869691917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-38084453523711341892008-04-25T12:48:00.000-04:002008-04-25T12:48:00.000-04:00How about putting the small 9 patch units as a who...How about putting the small 9 patch units as a whole in a corner?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07375097493115003018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-22650266386893288852008-04-25T12:14:00.000-04:002008-04-25T12:14:00.000-04:00love Love LOVE the bigger blocks around the smalle...love Love LOVE the bigger blocks around the smaller blocks.
