I also don't think it's at all ugly! I love your dark floral print and wouldn't take off the dark border. I would add the darker pink in a 2" outer border tho, and then bind it with the floral print. IMHO, that would bring the center of the quilt and the sashings together in the outer borders and make the quilt into a unit.
If you are good at quilting, then I would use a dark gray thread and do leaves in the sashings and something floral in the dark pink squares.

Ditto! I love, love, love this quilt and as a matter of fact, think it DOES POP! You have lots of solid to indulge yourself in fantasy quilting--as desired. And if you still don't like it when you get through, it can have a home with me! froggyintexas

I think it is very pretty. If you don't like it I am sure you know someone who would love it and can give it as a gift. You did a beautiful job on it.

This is not an ugly quilt, it is beautiful. It needs nothing changed, the dark pink is the bling and it brings out the lighter pink. Quilt it and it will be lovely.

I like it, but I have an idea you might want to try...replace blue border with hot pink, and applique a large pink/hotpink flower at the top right, with the stem and leaves coming up the right side of quilt??

Quite frankly, I really like the quilt. As others say, it has a calming effect. I also like the pattern.

I am sure someone has already suggest it but when I have a quilt I am not crazy about , I quilt it simple. I would just do diagonal lines going both ways corner to corner through each block.

I don't think its ugly. I do agree with MaryMo that changing the outer border to the darker pink would brighten it up some.

I like your quilt as it is. I would not change a thing.

Now I got decide how I am going to quilt it??
Any Idea??

I have the flower print fabric also. I like the quilt very much and think you did an excellent job with it. While one of the pinks isn't stand out bright, I think it has a very soft spring like feel to it.
