Do not take out the black one!! Too many quilts that I have seen lately (including my own!) lack contrast! I love what the black block does. I would eliminate whichever block seems the most "boring" to you. Maybe that wasn't super helpful? And remember to add block #10 to the back. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026306612881676022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-4343703973454520202012-05-02T15:46:35.499-07:002012-05-02T15:46:35.499-07:00lovely blockslovely blocksMarjorie's Busy Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652147996698707692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-12707519614995438952012-05-02T14:19:16.751-07:002012-05-02T14:19:16.751-07:00Haha!

Personally, I like having that light one in there, as well as the darker one - which I would NOT put in the center, as the rest of your blocks surrounding it would pale in comparison. Not in interest, of course, but in impact.<br /><br />Good luck with your decision, because without a doubt they are all fabulous blocks!!Linda Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09647297371345687532noreply@blogger.com
