    I love it as it is - I think it will make very interesting secondary patterns when it's all together. And I LOVE the little stripe in the red - the wide stripe picks up the same colour - makes it zing :)

    I think it looks great, do some quilting on that wide border in a red or brown maybe to tone it down if you are not happy with it.

    I agree with Franie..the blue border is kind of over powering. I would make it about 1/2 that size and maybe do the gold corners a little bigger..good luck..

    And I must say this one is so much easier than the first one I did...hehe

    And there more to the quilt than just what you see...

    I hope it turns out ok..
    It is very beautiful..But, to me the outer boarder does seem to take over..Its actually the first thing that catches my eyes..I love the colors..They are very happy looking

    I think it's fine once you assemble the blocks. I still have trouble with the visualization of a completed quilt and often panic after the blocks are made and before they're put together; the assembly does trim some off, and the secondary patterns that assembly creates (like the gold diamonds yours will have) make a huge difference.
