    I think it is wonderful. The white gives a great opportunity for show-off quilting.

    I like the wheel/star it self and the print border, but like you i'm not crazy about the white border. I think once done it will be a very beautiful quilt. Looks like you did a great job at making it. If nothing else finish it up and have a gift ready for when you need one but can't get it done in time. I'd love receiving a pretty quilt like this, I'm sure others would too.

    Lessons learned. But, I personally think you are being too hard on yourself. Your piecing is perfection, love the white, and, it is a completed top!!!! Go for it...get it quilted...maybe using varigated thread....This is when you really will know what it can be. You will have something to be proud of.

    Please don't put this away, it is too pretty. I like the colors and the white makes it "pop".

    We are always critical of our own work. I like everyone else thinks it is beautiful, AWESOME mix of color and the floral brings it together nicely...Keep on stitchin'.

    I think it's pretty but if you don't like it or won't finish it rather then putting it in a pile to never see the light of day why don't you let someone that is just starting out with a LA or MA practice on it and then if you still don't like it you could donate it? I have a friend that LA quilts and she did that for me. She made a top that didn't come out as well as she'd hoped and she gave me the top, backing and batting and told me to have fun...do whatever I want on it. I'm still practicing on my own but appreciate that the 1st one I do for someone else doesn't have too much stress attached to it!

    I think you will like it after it is quilted. I think the colors are fine. I like the white border.
