First I would remove the outside muddy blue fabric and give it a press from the back with a light hand. Then I would use a crisp white border instead of the blue that is on it. I would find a darling print with pink and blue on white background and that should unify it all together.

I like Barb in Louisiana's idea, but I'm wondering how strongly you feel about jazzing this one up as opposed to started from scratch with all fresh material. It can be hard to work on something that you find boring that someone else gave you. Do you feel obligated ? Is she in love with the quilt?

I agree. Unless I was really in love with it I wouldn't waste my time. Just because someone gives us a quilt top to finish doesn't mean we have to do it. I really want to love or at least like what I am working on. Just my opinion.
