Don't you just love how people post a perfectly acceptable quilt and say it's ugly!? ( like people say they're fat, just so others say "oh, no, you're just fine!") There was a post a while back about truly ugly quilts and this isn't even close to the running. That being said, it looks like you grabbed the sashing for a pastel quilt and put it together with the graphic D4P. The blocks are graphic and impactful, the sashing is pretty and soft, but the two elements don't complement each other. Several people have suggested bold quilting, and I'm adding a suggestion for a few well placed appliqués, perhaps in a bright, bright pink, to try and balance out the soft pink of the sashing. I've had lots of quilts that look perfectly fine in my head, and even on the cutting table and sewing machine, but once I put them on a wall or bed and stood back to look - not working! I wouldn't give up on it - I think it has lots of potential!
