Quilt Blocks #1 and #2...

Ok I admit, I am doing it backwards! I started with block #5 to catch up to the current week (which is already last week) and now am going back to do the first 4. Here are blocks 1 and 2... and now that I have done these I am rethinking my color choices...
Here were my original color choices:
Fabric Selection for Quilt Along

Quilt Block #1: (ignore the background fabric, it was just to show contrast) 
Quilt Block 1


Quilt Block #2: (ignore the background fabric, it was just to show contrast) 
Quilt Block 2


and here is #5 again just to see the colors: 
Quilt Block 5 trimmed

What I am thinking is that even though the colors "go together" as fabrics I think the blocks are more conducive to different kinds of colors. Here are some of the photos from the group so far: Flickr Group Photos for Quilt Along.
I am going to think on it and decide this weekend. It is really good practice for me to make these blocks and since I haven't made too many yet I can always redo if I decide to change the color grouping. Meanwhile Block #6 came out yesterday, better take a look at that too!
