Alot of us quilters do make stuff for friends and family. We want to make sure we are making them something they will love and appreciate. I'm sorry you feel this way. :shock:

You've had some really nice advice from everyone. I did notice the add moose and bears which would by my advice. But I'm an animal freak so beings your doing such a swell job on it so far I know whatever you do on it it will turn out great. I hope to see it when you get it done. Your daughter will love it. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

My first thought was to add more trees on the sides. How do you feel about putting a first border of flying geese next to the trees before putting on the final border? That way you wouldn't have such a big final border. Sounds like the finished size needs to be at least 70 x 90.

I was thinking flying geese maybe with a nuetral color and the greens in teh quilt so not so busy?

That's what I was thinking. Super job so far. BTW, I would shadow (echo?) quilt around the appliqued pieces and not do an over-all quilt pattern.

I got some night sky type fabric yesterday and fabric to make a bear... trees perhaps a cabin and a full moon with a wolf sillouette? or a moose. Going to work on this today it will then be long enough but then have to widen it ;)LOL
