Its the white and the pale pink the are fighting with each other. The pink because it is so pale and basic while the white has a texture to it. If you had used a pink that was not so pale and had a tone on tone it would have been fine. I also think that if you had used a cream tone on tone and the pink was tone on tome or marbled it would have been fine. Also the floral print is throwing the quilt a bit off. As a whole it is a lovely quilt. I do like the fabrics on their own just not in the combination that you have done. Maybe if you had switched the pale and darker pink it would have blended better. I do like it but it is not my cup of tea. As for the quilting maybe swirly and flowers mixed together to enhance the floral top? Good luck.
