I really have a steep learning curve sometimes. I took pictures of this prior to washing it but had the camera set on some funky setting, so I took more today after washing it. Kyra and I gave this a trial run last night while watching "Lie to Me" and she pronounces it "cuddly and warm".
What I like about this layout is the squares within squares (or diamonds). I also like the pinwheel quality to it, and less massing* of areas of meandering and just stitch in a ditch (the "birds").
I impulsively added some waves or curls in the border that came out...OK. I sort of steam-rolled them and was not always precise. Still, to an impartial observer they look alright. I am annoyed by the areas where the darker fabric in the seams shows through the yellow, and I guess I'll have to watch that next time.
*(Here's a picture of the massing I was talking about: a convergence of 4 triangles equals a bunch of area to quilt. I tried a feather wreath and it came out alright.)
