    It looks great! You are just out of your comfort zone.

    The pattern is really nice - and your work is lovely! I personally would break up the blocks that you have the same color side by side. mix your lights and darks into a broader non-discript design. (just my opinion)

    I agree with others who are essentially telling you that while this may not be your style, it looks good. I would not add sashing or rearrange the blocks much if at all. If anything, a dark framing border, though I personally would skip any border.

    It's working for me and looks easy on my eyes, but I would use the mottled black and gray that you have interspersed through the quilt as my border.

    I like it, but modern quilts with high contrast are my style. I would let her preview it to see if it is what she had in mind, and if so, go for it. I bet the niece will love it.

    I would do some minor rearranging of blocks if it were mine, but other than that I think it looks great. Try moving some of the blocks around a bit and see if that "feels" better to you.

    I agree swap some of the blocks that are the same colour to the one next to it with the oporesite that are the same colours apart from that it looks great

    What can I do to make it easier on the eyes?
    if she likes it, go with it!
