I like it too. You may think it's too busy, but Kaffe Fassett makes a lot of money with that same look.

I took it out today and still hate it, but I added the border...and I'll eventually convince myself to sandwich it.

ops: On the bright side, I'm planning a vacation...and I won't have to worry about the quilt police yelling at me when I'm sitting on it on the beach.

My first impression was how beautiful the colors are, though I did enjoy the joke about scappy baby!

Give up the coffee - just kidding. That quilt is beautiful and you can send it to me if you can't bear to keep it. Put it away till after your vacation, the next time you look at it you will appreciate it more and I bet it will start to grow on you. Thank you for sharing.

Perfect beach quilt, but I would rather be wrapped up in it on a cold winter night thinking bright thoughts to match the quilt.

In my opinion, you really needed an inner border - perhaps a turquoise or magenta that would bring it all together. Your inside design is fun !!! This is just a thought to consider next time. I usually do one or two inner borders (of different sizes) to define the interior of the quilt. Your quilt is still beautiful and would welcome this as a gift anytime.
