Borders and quilt it. I think it's lovely.

I love the colors. They are bright and cheerful. Add a black or dark green border or both. Like the idea of Minkie! Jan

I will add some more fabric to it make it a little bigger and will add some minky fabric to the back she says it is too cold. So what pattern would you use??
Jade, I wouldn't change a thing your quilt is beautiful, colorful and southing all in one. I would cherish your quilt just as it is. |

I would do a border in red to bring out the green and diminish the yellows. I would also consider using flannel for the backing. It would be much warmer for her. Also, what type of batting did you use? 100% cotton would be my choice. Maybe add a layer of this? I really don't think it is all that bad :)

I would put a black, red, then black border around it and
use a yellow binding and it will make it pop. I think it is great colors, a work of art. |
Personally, I love it.

How about adding sashing as you would to a nine patch? :?:

Minky fabric is a very soft not sure what it is made of furry like material. She had breast cancer and is a amazing survivor!! She just hated this quilt I felt so bad on sunday when she told me. But I did exactly what she asked. This time I am going to do it differently and make it warmer :)
