Thank you four for the praise and ideas. I think this is one of those tops that if I let it sit for 10 years like I have some of my tops, I'd like it better. Right now I don't like it at all....so...
Thanks for the quilting suggestion, justabitcrazy. I think I'll do something like you've suggested. The white space around the blue border maybe would be a good place for something other than an allover design but yes, otherwise, I am totally with you!
Oh, one of the things I was thinking about is writing the names of mom, dad, grandmas, grandpas, aunt and uncle in some of the borders around blocks....and possibly doing the names in glow in the dark thread! But yeah, maybe meander the rest.
