    Uh oh, I'm on the other side here. I think the charm squares are too big of a "blank" area with the smaller, very busy print of the quilt. If the charm pack pieces were smaller, I would like it better, but I think it competes with the quilt in the standard size. I totally agree with taking out the black as there isn't any black in the panel and it does look harsh.

    Ditto and learn the colors as well, Love it. They use another one for nap time.

    Thanks for any suggestions.
    you asked remember I would use a small black border and then all the squares it would really make the center pop however its totally up to you anyway
