As you see from the comments, everyone has different taste and eye for color. It is a nice quilt but for me, I think I would like it better if there were an accent color. I don't know but maybe a little black or a very light color. The colors blend together a bit too much for me. But as I said, it works beautifully for some. Not a waste, I'm glad to hear that you have a place to go with it. Have fun with your next quilt.
