I moved around a few of the hourglass blocks and it made all the difference. I think this looks so much better, and I don't think I need to move anything else. I'm really glad I took the time to do this. I know I would have been bothered by the other every time I looked at the quilt. Doing so wasn't all that bad, actually. Though it would have been much easier if I'd done it when things first started to bother me - about three borders ago.All my fabrics for this quilt were in a terrible jumble on my cutting table since I cut out nearly 30 stars without refolding anything. So I took the time to straighten up, refold, and set aside lights that I've not yet used for star backgrounds. Now I'm all set for making the last nine stars - after I fix something for us to eat. It's going to be easy so I can get back to sewing - hot dogs and canned soup. I'm blessed to have a husband who doesn't mind such things for dinner!

Happy quilting.

That was the perfect fix...makes all the pieces appear random, where before it looked like a splash of gold right there in one swath. Good for you ripping that apart, tedious, but worth it.
Yes, that's the kind of thing that bugs me too.
I really like your solution to move the inner ones so you could leave the stars alone. Well Done! That's the sort of thing I often think of AFTER I've pulled out more than I had to.
I come in and see it all done...whew...I am exhausted just looking!! well done Patti, it's fabulous...and don't you just hate when you shoulda done something 3 borders ago-the story of my life! Tracey
Looks fantastic...dare I ask...any idea how you are going to quilt it? That's the bit that always trips me up...can't wait to see what you do next ;o)
You did a wonderful job spreading those out...tons of tedious work but well worth it. Your Fred is like my Andy...they are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!
I would never have thought to go back and move those blocks, I so admire you for doing it! I have to admit, this quilt is one of the prettiest I've seen in a long time. Amazing use of color, fabulous design. I can't wait to see it finished!
Like watching a quilt grow by looking at your blog. Back to the blocks you have been piecing soon, I'm guessing?
Your quilt is beautiful!
Oh it is wonderful!
Your medallion looks marvellous I love it!
