The colors come across as soft and soothing.
The pattern is pretty and the fabrics work well in it.
So - it doesn't jump up and down and scream "look at me" - it is more like the person that one is comfortable with and can confide in.
I think it will be a "pleasant companion" for a long time.

Thanks all, There is nothing "wrong", it just doesn't have what I consider "close-line" appeal. I know how proud this non-English speaking German woman will be of a hand made quilt. No one in the family (and they were so wide spread, they could barely understand each others dialect,) was familiar with patchwork when I gave a honeymoon quilt to our son and bride at their marriage. I anticipate she'll lug it all over to show to virtually everyone. I just think, from a distance, well, it looses a lot of something.

Is it that it's not "your colors", or have your last couple of projects had very strong contrasts? I agree with other posters it is a very pretty soothing quilt that you have obviously spent much time and effort to make. She will love it!
