This is headed for being a beautiful quilt. Maybe bring in some gold somewhere and I like the idea of adding the escaped fish.

I absolutely love the center and the colors. I might bring some color out to the border, the border doesnt seem to go with the center. As someone else mentioned, it needs quilting. I am always amazed how quilting makes a quilt "come alive", and have so much dimension. Maybe quilt in some kind of sea/ocean/water things to give it depth and movement. Just my humble opinion

I liked the idea of quilting near th koi but use the gold for the border instead of blue since you have purple on and inner border

There is nothing ugly about this quilt. I think it would look good hanging off my sofa.

Lack of it being quilted is the answer! it's beautiful.

The quilt is definitely not ugly, but I think it could be improved. It's the border fabric that is throwing me off. I would use a border fabric with blues and purples to better match the fish panel. Also you might consider applique in the white triangles or quilting a fish design in colored (maybe purple)thread. It's a great quilt so be proud.
