Here are a couple pics of your quilt I played with. The second one I just flipped the middle upside down. It would be great if you wanted to applique flowers or something in the white areas too

I like Baloonatics pictures of one she previously did. I do also agree adding applique. Maybe some flowers or a few of her favorite things.

Love all the ideas.

These are all great ideas! Your strips are bright and cheerful and if you add some applique of items that she likes it would become very personal.

I knew I could depend on you. These ideas are all wonderful. I will post again when I work it out. Thank you all soooooo much!

I prefer these quilts that have appliques on them

If you think it needs more color, since you have a bright red, you might add some fairly bright dark blue, either as applique or borders. Since blues are hard to match, either take some of the blues in the quilt with you or a photo if you have to shop. I said "fairly bright dark blue" rather than bright blue/medium blue because the latter is less liikely to match.

I would love to see stars or bubbles (circles) appliqués onto it.

Here is one I made for my Mom. The borders add a lot...
