I think the quilt looks wonderful! Keep going with it. :thumbup:

I agree with others who are essentially telling you that while this may not be your style, it looks good. I would not add sashing or rearrange the blocks much if at all. If anything, a dark framing border, though I personally would skip any border.

I like it!

It's working for me and looks easy on my eyes, but I would use the mottled black and gray that you have interspersed through the quilt as my border.

I like it, but modern quilts with high contrast are my style. I would let her preview it to see if it is what she had in mind, and if so, go for it. I bet the niece will love it.

These are good suggestions and summarize what I was thinking.

I'm sure that once it is finished and quilted, it will be lovely. I've made a few quilts that I thought were, shall we say, doubtful, but after quilting and binding turned out nicely.

I would do some minor rearranging of blocks if it were mine, but other than that I think it looks great. Try moving some of the blocks around a bit and see if that "feels" better to you.

Any suggestions? Sashing maybe? It just seems too busy to me but I generally like a lot of white to frame my blocks and that was not the look she was going for....

What can I do to make it easier on the eyes?

if she likes it, go with it!

I like it a lot!

I'm with everyone else. Just move on and finish it. If you don't want to use a border then bind. The only thingout of my comfort zone is bargellos and starry points!
