If you like it, it is OK.

I made something similar where I did not think it had enough 'pop' and thought it was too bland. What I did was add a small dark border then added a totally different fabric for the outside border. That outside border certainly gave the quilt a little more interest which was just what it needed. So, start looking for a outside border which would compliment the center section and add that little bit of spark which is needed. Good luck!

I love your soft colors.....that speaks me.....If you want to add a border with some soft green print that may add a lovely garden bouquet feel......

I like it, I think it's pretty. Some people want "soft". I will agree with a previous poster that suggested a small darker purple border to frame it though.

It's very pretty. Don't worry about what the others in your Guild show. Most of mine show arty quilts. I show quilts made to be used by ordinary folk!

Would appliqueing a flower (yellow?) like a daffodil or single tulip in the lower right hand area (or any object of your choice) give it punch without losing the softness?

If you're not satisfied and think it needs a liitle punch would appliqueing a flower (yellow?) like a daffodil or single tulip in the lower right hand area (or any object of your choice) give it punch without losing the softness?

Quilts to me are artwork..and not all artwork "pop." Some art has intrigue and quietness...I think it is very beautiful and calming.

I think it is lovely. Go for it!

Dina, I usually do bright colored quilts myself but every once in a while, I need to tone it down somewhat. I love your colors here and it speaks to me though I'm a bright colored person. If it feels good to you, then it is good. Someone suggested adding a bit darker fabric maybe as a small border if you feel it needs a bit more contrast. I like what you did so much that its been added to my"TO DO" list.
