I believe those drunks have sobered up some since you posted because I find nothing out of the ordinary about them. Other than this is a wonderful looking quilt. The layout of the colors is spot-on and very well coordinated, the interaction of the different fabrics for the geese is different and certainly go together nicely, and as far as the backing goes, you ran out of one fabric? I honestly thought you planned it that way. It really really looks great!
