busy yes, way to busy no. I think a 12 year old would love it.

:thumbup: Totally agree.

Perhaps just orient the peace symbols all in the same direction.

Looks great!

Love it

Maggie_1963 09-13-2011 04:25 AM

absolutely not way to busy! She will love it! Those peace signs are so "in" right now!

mommamac 09-13-2011 04:31 AM

honest opinion - pinwheels & symbols clash.
I would probably use solid color blocks instead picking up some color from peace symbols.

Do the same with the pinwheels & you'll end up with 2 quilts or a double sided one. :lol:

I agree. This is a beautiful quilt for the dreams of a 12 year old girl.

It is perfect for a 12 year old girl. It is busy in the best way. She will love it

tweens just love the brights and busy look of this quilt.

DonnaBatiks 09-13-2011 05:54 AM

I would put the pinwheels together in the center and then surround it with the peace symbols all going in the same direction. Or maybe take the pinwheels and peace signs and put a black sashing between them.....very thin 1 1/2 to 2 inch but no bigger. That would separate them some.....maybe even add some solids in there too if you use sashing.
There is no where for the eye to rest when looking at this quilt. Kids do love busy...but you wouldn't ask us if you didn't think something could make it better! I would rather see a solid yellow pinwheel too.

Busy is not always bad. I like it but that isn't important. Will she enjoy it and feel special because she got this wonderful quilt. That is the important part.

It's very striking - a 12 year old will love it.

No, it is perfect.

alikat110 09-14-2011 11:19 AM

Nice

Greenheron 09-14-2011 12:56 PM

Not too busy--the softer colors of the pinwheel blocks lets them recede.

lyndaloo 09-14-2011 01:07 PM

Perfect for a 12-year-old! She'll love it!

crochetetc 09-14-2011 01:40 PM

So what did you decide?

twixbar 09-14-2011 01:43 PM

Not too busy at all, I am sure she will love it.
