Hi Misty. I think the quilt top itself is lovely but for me the thing that popped out was the borders need to be changed to frame and give definition to the quilt. I had a quilt which was very complicated (for me) and when I had the top pieced without borders I was so disappointed I just did not like it. Once the borders were on it just fell into place. I think you need to have a dark frame on the quilt. Would love to hear how the quiting goes.
