use a darker color to stitch down (outline) the angels- will make them stand out- and make a dresden plate for the middle in the colors from the angels.
and then- if you still don't like it- send it my way.

I love it ... that is awesome work ... keep going with it ... it needs something in the middle to balance it, and maybe some hair on the angels along with halos ... :D
If you don't want it ... I'm MORE than willing to take it off your hands ;)

The only problem I see is that background fabric show thru heads/faces. You could put another on top and that will make a double thickness. I think it is very cute and with a little embellishment will be great. The grid quilting was good idea, too.

you could add some strips of fabric, at least one, across the center one way that go with the angels.

Mind you, I have never used this stitch and it needs some work but this is for me and I am learning all the time. I think I will add a dresden in the middle and see how it looks. Again, thank you everyone. I also would add a halo if I knew how.
