Take other people's opinions with a grain of salt. Do what makes you happy. I have been told the same quilts were "too modern" by one person and "too traditional" by another, in the same day. Also had a craft show jury say they were too much alike but there was no consistency.
Also, I learned over the years that I am my own worst critic. I would agonize over colors only to have the recipient love it no matter what. Or I would ask a customer which hand quilting pattern she would like, and she would tell me "whatever you think is best." So I learned to trust my own judgment.
