There's nothing to blend from on the left, and very little on the top. You could have continued the gradient on the right, too; the tile's background makes it look flat in comparison to its surroundings.

Re: Hey
You guys have no Imagination.
I gave just enough on top to make the person wonder what the striped shapes were, and it actually worked. The person has a cocktail umbella there.
With the cloud I was actually going for a pillow under the sleeping moon.
Geez lighten up, guys. This is a fantazy setting. You're not going to critique me on making a cloud into a table, on which a mushroom grows, are you.

Eep, sorry about that
The parachute shapes barely in the border was fine. What I usually mean when I mention an empty border is the very edge of pixels. In this tile, there was nothing in there but a moon and cloud on top, and nothing on the left. Sure, they can put the shapes and colors in the border into their tile, but if nothing is actually running into their tile from yours, then it makes that area of the quilt more obviously tiled. The less 'gridified' a quilt looks, the better; I was just tring to point this out in too roundabout a way, I guess.

And, also, I certainly don't have anything wrong with fantasy; but even in fantasy, clouds go in front of celestial bodies :) Just trying to make light of what I thought was a mistake. I saw that as a cloud, by the way, because it looks like a cartoon cloud and was drawn in the same style as your table's cloud overhang thing. Maybe a more cartoonish pillow, a puffy rectangular shape with pointed corners, would have gotten your point across better?

Re: Re: Hey
Yeah, I liked the umbrella. But the cloud/pillow was amorphous enough so that I turned it into a drink. Does the moon drink? Maybe it's a nightcap. Heh.
