I think it looks fabulous. If your daughter thinks she should add black then by all means add black. Just remind her she is the artist and what looks good to her eye is exactly how it should be finished. Bravo....

I love it just like it is! And it's still gorgeous with the black that moonpi showed. Whatever she decides will be beautiful.

I think your DD did a fantastic job on this. :thumbup: I love pinwheels so I myself would probably leave it as is. A teen may want to sash it though in black. It is her quilt & she has done a terrific job so far. :thumbup: :D :D :D

I too love it how it is...however if you wanted to showcase the centre...just sash around the green/masquerade/pink pinwheel combo as one big block, then a black border round the very edge of the top and that would really highlight it. Very impressive work....what is she going to be producing in a few years time....awesome!

Anyway she finishes it will be lovely-I was once told by a very experienced quilter that "There is no such thing as an ugly quilt!" (She didn't see my first AND second quilt!!)
