It is a beautiful quilt. Mr Blue just decided to show that he really is a dominant guy. if you love the floral & have more of it, try another small quilt with softer, lighter colors than the floral. one thing that may help to bring the floral print out is to quilt like sun rays from off-center of the blue pieces then into the outside rows. whenever you lay that quilt down, that beautiful, cheery blue will greet you. bet you learn to love it. colors love to fool us and we live and learn.

I very much agree with those who suggested a blue border or at least some blue in the border. Both the inner portion and the outer portion of the quilt are pretty but they seem like they belong to two different quilts. The outer portion needs some of the blue to draw the two parts together. My personal preference would be to put a thin blue border inside the most outside border currently on the quilt.
Just my 2 cents.

You can always find it a home here! :D

I wanted to convey sunshine and flowers. I used a 9.5 in. pinwheel to show the floral fabric off, but maybe I cut it up too much.
Let me know what you think. I value your opinions.
