It may not be your cup of tea, but it still looks nice. Not ugly just not a big pop. You did a good job on it. I'm not much of a fan of pink. I think MaryMo was right, a brighter Pink would have popped it out more. Still it is a very nice quilt. As far as quilting it, can't give you any ideas, I'm not a great FMQ'er. I still just do straight lines mostly.
