Many of us would never complete and give away any of our quilts if we rest on the idea that there things that should have been or could have been better if we had made one or two different choices in fabrics. This quilt is really lovely and I think you should go ahead with your plan to give it away. It is beautiful. I am working on a quilt that I questioned the placement of some almost white patches. In fact I was really ready to replace them (a tedious job because of where they were). But a group of friends saw it and thought the white was wonderful. I wound up leaving them and now I am glad I did. I guess I am really myopic when I look at my own choices sometimes. I need others to give honest opinions for me to consider.
