    Makes me hungry for chocolate covered cherries! I think the prints are great together.

    A possible thing - depending on how much you need/want "order" - if you arrange the colors so that they make stair steps -a rail type setting - instead of the more or less random setting you now have - might make your feel more comfortable?

    I like it! Sometimes we get too close - it will look terrific when it's all together.

    I like it too. If your friend likes pink and brown, she'll love it.

    You've put a lot of work into it, so you should finish it. You may be pleasantly surprised. Also, your friend may have a different opinion - she may love it!

    If in the end you truly don't like it, it can always be donated or given to your town library or school for a raffle.

    I vote with everyone else. It's going to be a beautiful quilt. I think you are being too hard on yourself. Finish it.

    It's going to be very pretty. I often have second thoughts on a pattern or fabric choice then once the top is done I am almost always happy with the end product. So that's the long winded version of keep going it will be great.

    I like it! I think that when you get borders on it, maybe a small pink and then a bigger brown, it will pull it all together for you. I really like your fabric choices!

    There is a small (1") border of pink and then a border of "piano keys" around it

    I think if you add an off white or a cream strip to the 2 strip blocks and then do a rail fence layout, you might like it better.
