    As you can read, most of us can't see a thing wrong with this quilt. Perhaps you are just sick of seeing it since you have been working so hard on it... :D Why don't you just back it, quilt, use a dark lavender(purple) binding and enjoy it......then start on a new project! Sometimes, we just can't love everything we start and that's OK.....just finish and move on......Personally, I like it!

    Morning All,

    For the Sunbonnet Sue quilt I would stick a feather in her bonnet. Or as others have said fussy cut some flowers for the bonnet. I vote for a darker final border.

    There is nothing wrong with this quilt. It adorable!

    Please don't squint. It's not good for your eyes. You can find the peep hole tool at any Walmart, Lowes, or hardware store and it's cheap so buy two. It's a must have tool for me when deciding colors for my quilt.

    Isn't it funny how our own quilts look bad to us but great to everyone else??? I think it's really cute, and for your second quilt I would say that's pretty amazing! I also like the idea of flowers for the hats- even 1 per hat, and yeah, get some yellow in the binding.
    GREAT QUILT!! :D

    I think it looks great. And, a yellow border would draw some of the attention from the blocks themselves. Make it balanced.I'm bettin you don't really like bright and bold colors?

    What a beautiful quilt. I think a dark blue border with yellow binding would look great
