    I think the lighter embroidery actually gives it a vintage look.

    I agree, I'd leave it as it is - beautiful!

    I think the problem is that in your mind you have a vision of what it should look like and this isn't quite it. We all tend to do that and then become disappointed. Try to look at it with a fresh mind and I think you will see how lovely it is.

    I also think that the embroidery looks beautiful as it is and would not change it.

    Your quilt is fabulous!

    I, too, would leave the blocks alone. It is so pretty as is.

    It is beautiful! Anyone would be proud to have that quilt; " missed the mark" for a baby quilt or other happening.
    I love The Irish Chain in pastels. So much more interesting than all one color.
    Love it!

    I wouldn't worry about how they look in photos as long as they look good in person. From what I can see, and I don't hve the best sight anymore, I think they look great. Don't change anything. The quilt is perfect the way it is and it was created with family members. You can't beat that.

    Extra batting behind the pictures would help them stand out, I think your quilt is beautiful!
