I like the pattern.

I think I might try darkening it up by replacing the two lights - the cream and tan with something darker - just to see what that looks like. the light pieces sort of "stop" me when looking at it.

as others have said - show the picture(s?) to your friend - for confirmation or further suggestions.

I agree that making something for someone else can be stressful.

If it was mine IMHO, I would take the blocks and stack them in like colors and then arrange them in a rainbow type effect. going light to dark at an angle. Or If there is enough blocks of like colors start with lights in middle and encase the lights with a darker and so forth till I get what I like. I'm not much on scattered blocks unless each one is completely different.

I really like it just as it is. I love the way the colors play together with just that little pop of white. Remember, it is her quilt, not yours.

I think it looks good too. I am thinking maybe a white border around the entire quilt, then a black narrower border to enclose the design. No idea for the binding though. Ask her what she thinks also.

I like this quilt, needs a border in a dark color to make it perfect. Ask her what she thinks.
