auntshamaine, that's a beautiful first quilt!! Bravo girl. :thumbup: I love the colors, your piecing is really good, and I too love how that one little part of the flying geese falls into the background. Sometimes an "oops" can turn into a really neat, and unexpected design!
I agree with the others on the quilting. I think keeping it simple is best to start, and besides, it's busy enough and so colorful that a more complicated design might just get lost in there anyway. No matter what you choose to do, she's going to loooooove this! :)
