Default need help with pattern

I am not sure what to do. I am at a small problem. I don't know what is the problem if it is the colors or the fact that I have a ton of boarders. But in the purple I was thinking of doing diamonds in the blue fabric that i have in the main part of the quilt. the block at the top corner has more pieces to it. where that block in the top corner is is going to be the drop down on the sides and bottom of the bed. and the three closet strips are going to be on the top of the bed. what do you guys think? sorry that they are not true to the color and a little fuzzy. took them with my phone.

I don't understand what you're asking, so I can't venture an opinion on that... but I did want to say WOW!!!!!! This quilt is just incredible! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. This takes my breath away. Fantastic!

You have done an excellent job so far and I think that your plan for the rest will work very nicely. Can't wait to see it finished.

Can't be of any help with your question, but that is one beautiful quilt. You have done a great job. Is it paper-pieced?

It is truly beautiful, but I am not sure what your question is?

Love it- Are you asking what we think - I think it is awesome I would have all the points facing up to the top of the bed which is what it sounds like you have planned - the fairies are an awesome addition

I think the borders are bringing down the quilt. There are too many and they're... flat. They're not interesting like the rest of the quilt. I think I would do one narrowish solid border and then a pieced border of some type and then look at it again. The fairy block you have on the border now would look better if it's on the lower right hand side so the points point outward and the fairy is facing the center.
