    I wouldn't change a thing - I love it. What a wonderful quilt for a young lady of any age and beautiful!

    I think its pretty as is, and if you put borders a bright green border, I think would even bring it out more, but being a newby that just what I think...LOL

    It's gorgeous! I would definitely leave the greens as they are. Having a more toned green (i.e. it contains a bit more grey) in the background than in the foreground means that it adds depth to the quilt, giving something of a 3D effect (in a good way). The foreground green is brought forward, focusing attention on whatever you are going to have in the white square-on-point in the middle. The background green certainly doesn't blend in with the purples at all, they're perfectly well distinguished.

    I am absolutely salivating over those batiks, especially the elegant curves of the background green one.

    Once I saw it together I vote for leaving it. If I were going to change it , it would be to something with a little more blue in it. To me it looks like your fairy is sitting in the center of a flower.

    I think that it is perfect the way it is. It is a beautiful block.

    To me the two greens are so close in color that they tend to blend. Not enough contrast. I'd either change the center green or change the outer green if they were my blocks.

    I would try a golden color like her hair in place of the bright green stripe on there.

    I agree. I really love it the way it is, when you put the blocks together it's beautiful. If I were to change anything, it would be to switch the two purples. Nice work! Can't wait to see the progress.

    I'm in agreement with the majority - it's very nice as it is.
