I think novelty junkie had a good point previously posted. The colours a all very nice but not quite contrasting enough, except the white. Be careful though as it may just stand out too much and detract from that lovely brown fabric you have used. Lots of advice here so sift through and see what works for you. I also remember that when I didn't quilt as much I loved low contrast things so your MIL may never see what you are pondering on. Finish it and let it be another learning for you in colour work.
