I find it so useful to stop and lay out blocks and see what's missing and what is too abundant. Based on what I saw here I decided to make the next batch of blocks with very few pieces of the darkest fabrics, focusing on the whites and medium greens and mixing in just a little more yellow. I want this quilt to calm down a little. I'm also going to include some blocks that are half-size or otherwise different from these (not exactly crosses, crosses with borders, etc).
I'm piecing these blocks as leaders-and-enders while working on my cousin's graduation quilt, which seems to be coming along nicely, but is not yet big enough to spread out and assess.
