I have to agree with the solid border idea that others have thrown out there. The flowers are a bit distracting and maybe that is what you are having a hard time with as well? All in all, you have done a great job with this quilt and the reason for doing it overcomes any flaw you may feel that it has. At the end of the day, the boy that receives this quilt is going to cherish it for the rest of his life. You have done a really great thing here.
