Gypsy Wife, March Blocks

I finished my March Gypsy Wife blocks this morning.  Or at least I think I did.  This pattern is hard for me to follow, and I'm not really sure why.  I'm used to Bonnie Hunter's very straight forward directions.  The Gypsy Wife pattern has pages of instructions, and sometimes you make little blocks that you use a couple of pages later as other block centers.  I get lost.  Anyway, here is what I came up with.
 
I think I need some more dark blocks.  The colors are starting to look a little too 'Easter Eggy' to me.  Too much yellow, pale green, and pink.  I need some more orange for sure and some more blue in next month's blocks.  I also broke one of my original goals:  to use no solids.  I did this out of laziness.  I had solids on my cutting table already, so that's what I used.

You have been busy! I favor the block with yellow in it.

Love that pinwheel block, lower right! Fun! I like simple directions with lots of pictures. I have to be able to 'see' how the block is supposed to go together. I don't follow directions well.
