I really need help! I started this car quilt for my son months ago and have yet to finish it because I'm not really happy with how it looks!! I tried using a different pattern and redid it to this. The car blocks are 8inch squares. I still think it's a little busy and I don't know whats missing... I am now thinking of doing the warm wishes pattern on it with maybe blue, grey, and red? Or maybe with blue grey and green. What do u think? I thought I would use the flags as a border along with maybe a dark grey and maybe green border? I don't know... What else can I do to it though? Maybe to even make it larger? I have some larger car prints that maybe I should use as applique in between the other car print??
I still need to finish the car and "road" applique.
I hope to have it done by this winter! Any advice would be great! Thanks!

Would you be up for taking it apart and remaking it using the car print alternating with the blue as a solid block without the red, yellow, blue and green squares? Maybe you could applique the larger car prints on some of the blue squares. Or do a disappearing nine-patch with the car print in the corners, the red in the center and the blue squares in the "north, south, east and west" positions. This will be a darling quilt for your son.
