quilt: i see what you mean about the "busy". i would feel the same way if i had made it. BUT since i didn't, i'm like the rest of us are able to see what you can't. it does, in fact, look quite nice. i wouldn't change a thing.
pick a binding fabric that pops. when you quilt it, use thread that contrasts and also pops. use the top as the stage set and background so the quilting becomes the lead character. when you're done, i'll bet you love the play. ;-)
