You are all so kind! I moved the blocks to the floor(off of the design board) and played around with the arrangement. It looks much better to me, so I will make more blocks, and no border. I think the starkness and high contrast were throwing me off....not my usual style. Since she picked the pattern, I won’t alter it.
Will post when the top is completed, and then I will be looking for quilting suggestions! I am thinking some straight lines and possibly curved cross hatching....I want to keep it simple, I think!
