Twelve square-in-a-square fussy cut deer pictures, surrounded with diamonds. Now the tricky part. There are 6 different fabrics, so I didn't understand why this was so difficult!! I wanted NO REPEATS of similar blocks--ie, no two with the same colored diamonds matched to the same colored corner triangles. I wanted each of the fabrics to be spread out within the quilt, with good contrasts and unique colorizations, is that too much to ask??? I cannot say how many times I switched diamonds on different blocks, or traded the corner triangles in the squares-in-a-square. I even added a 7th fabric, one set of diamonds, and one set of corner triangles, and thought that would solve everything. A little extra diversity! But no, it didn't help all that much! Even the arrangement in the photo above is not the final arrangement! (Not enough contrast in the bottom row!) I have spent at least 3 hours trying to figure out and balance colors! I finally just gave up and found a somewhat acceptable arrangement, knowing that there will be black corners on the diamonds, so the diamonds don't actually touch the corner triangles or each other. I am hoping when all is said and done, it'll look decent!
