    Need some help:)

    I know most of you are very creative...and I am hoping one of you will have an idea. This quilt needs something more, it is unbalanced the way it is...and I am not a teal person although I am thrilled with the color combo on here...piecing has never ben my thing...so because it is not such a blank canvas to begin with I am having some trouble "seeing" where to go from here.
    Shoud I outline the song with flowers maybe? What colour goes well with teal? Can I get away with adding say purple and yellow?
    Or should I do a garden of some sort along the bottom instead, or both? I don't want to busy it up too much though. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

    Maybe a few doves above & wild flowers at the bottom. Although, it is beautiful the way it is.

    A soft color, maybe pink or pale orchid for color. I love the softness of this aqua. You could do a pale green vine around the white with a few scattered flowers embroidered on. I wouldn't put too much on it; you don't want to take away from the girl, which is beautiful by the way.

    I knew I'd get what I was looking for from you all...soft pinks and orchids are a much better idea. Thank You!

    Beautiful quilt. How did you do the girl? I agree with Halo, doves just make sense. Post when you finish.

    I don't think I would add doves because I would not want to take away from the girl. She is just lovely and you really want her to be the focus. The only really dark color I see is in the girl's hair and the printing. I would add a dark border on the whole quilt. A border on the words is fine too, but not too dark for that. Make it lighter than the border on the entire quilt. ... just some more thoughts.
