I think it looks nice, remember she picked the fabrics and pattern out. I once made a quilt for a friend where she had stitched scraps together from her projects, sort of like a Chinese coin quilt, and insisted that I use read for the sashing and borders. Well, I did it, however, the whole time I was making it I kept chanting "Red is a neutral", something I'd heard a quilter say on Simply Quilts. My DS and DH thought it was great, but more importantly she loved the quilt and was quite proud, as she was 80 years old at the time.

This is just my personal taste but I don't particular care for the white if indeed it is white or just a blank space. I would try different shades of ecru or some other neutral color.

LOL, when I squint at the quilt I see two eyes looking back at me. The colors are nice, I like them, but together they are a dark/light contrast. Some medium values brought into the mix might be a helpful addition. (High contrast quilts are great but in this pattern, not so much?)

It looks good to me.. Maybe it just isn't your style.. Sometimes I am critical because the pattern isn't something I like

I agree swap some of the blocks that are the same colour to the one next to it with the oporesite that are the same colours apart from that it looks great

It looks great! Once you put a border around it, everything will calm down and blend. Please don't over think it!
