Uh-oh - I laid out my OC blocks and I really don't like them together. I mean look at these blocks next to each other. What was I thinking? Maybe 2 seperate quilts with the blocks, but the green/purple combination is too much for me. Any suggestions?

I can't really help - I'm exactly in the same boat. The fabric looked good together before I cut it up into bits for the blocks! Now, heaven help us. I'm experimenting with sashing - a pale green - which seems to help, And there's no way I will make a full size quilt with these blocks. I've lost heart rather, and feel inclined at the moment to send the whole lot - as blocks - to the charity shop!
They seem to look better as a whole quilt. Have you lay the whole thing out yet? I love all your bright colors. Mine's a bit blah.
I wouldn't give up on it yet. Lay out all the blocks and see if you like it. I put your 2 blocks in photoshop and duplicated them and I really like the look.
Mine looks the same way. I am going to sew them together, put a border on it and use it as a picnic or outdoor quilt. I think I should have gone a little less scrappy.
I have to vote with the group that's saying to continue on - I think so many of them look great once they are together - and the colors coordinate much better than you think they will..keep going...we're anxious to see the result - you might be pleasantly surprised!

white sashing? that's my solution to all quilt dilemmas, though. it may mess with the original design but it would give your eye a break at least.
OH I love them together. I wasn't sure about mine either, but once I laid it all out, it really went together.
You know, I didn't especially like mine together until I actually sewed them together and watched the secondary patterns form. I think yours are lovely!
I think it's really funky! Maybe you would like it better with sashing to separate the blocks more?
