I think the colors are great, but the pattern needs some more solid, and the bears without heads are
disturbing even to me as an adult. I would personally remove those strips and replace with a solid navy in a wide strip.
That way you've made a lively quilt that:
1 ) has animals with heads
2 ) isn't overly busy (eyes can rest on solid)
3) hides dirt and stains
4) doesn't require any further designing
5) stays on the thrifty side for a give-away quilt
Love to see it what you end up doing with it.
