you might want to try blending this tile a little better. I understand it is your first attempt and it's quite cool - just got to work on that blending some.

Well, you have the right idea. You're not just stuffing things in the middle of the tile, but are leaving something for the egdes. The only thing you did wrong was editing the pieces you were given from other tiles -- sorry, but those parts are off-limits to you. You can't do even the slightest editing on them, because that (obviously) won't show up on the quilt. You just have to make whatever you put in the "draw here" area fit the given borders as they are.

Oh, and a small tip, while I'm on it. Leaving lots and lots of black for the next guy can be bad. You might want to avoid it if possible.

Very cute fishies, and a very cute style. I'm sure you'll do great once your blending is in order! :)
