Hi Candace,
After it is quilted, if you still think it is way too loud, I have 2 suggestions:
donate it somewhere - children's hospital, nursing home, local fire or police (they both carry blankets for kids to cuddle with here in CO - I'm assuming other places do the same thing)
The second idea is a little more 'artsy'. Find some silhouettes that you like and applique them to the top. You'd end up with silhouette framed in the flower blocks. Should be gorgeous when done.
