My niece (6 years old) bought some fabric she loved when she was at a fabric store with my sister, who does not sew, and sent it to me to make into a quilt for her.

I'm trying but I'm having some issues, I am quite a new quilter so everything is an experiment for me, and I feel stuck.

One issue is the tropical floral fabric she chose for the backing is LOUD, and hard to match. I'm having trouble even looking at it let alone using it.

Another issue, is that the rainbow dresden's I had a blast making for the top are suddenly striking me as more masculine. And my first attempt at sashing went kinda south.

Ideas? Advice? A gun so I can take this quilt out back and shoot it?
