    White would be considerably toned down if the quilting were done in green, blue or teal. I personally find that an extremely attractive quilt, both colors and pattern. Good luck with whatever you decide.

    LOL I like it. I was thinking you might want to trade with me for an unused kit from Connecting threads but it has a similar problem, lots of white with not blue but pink. I see what you are saying about the colors. I do like the look of repetitiveness but it can be overwhelming and endless to work on. Maybe just work on it 20 minutes a day or just lay it aside for now. Quilting is supposed to be fun!

    Agree with Emma....it is going to be stunning when it is finished. I would also consider having different project to do when it you weary of it. It doesn't matter how long it takes.

    Okay for me the green does not flow. The blues are all playing nice. I would replace the green with pale blue or lt and medium yellows. Then allow the blues to flow. For borders I would do yellow at the top left then flow the colors around the center. I would bind in dark blue. I would also work on one block a day. Only one a day, you will be surprised how quickly it gets finished. Then reward your self by working on something you love to do every time you work on it. Luann

    I think it looks great, when I first saw it I thought, wow what a quilt! It is up to you, but I bet you will love it when you get it done. Good luck

    Another thought, you could whack it up into smaller pieces and put it back together again for an art project.

    I think this is looking great. I love a quilt with lots of white, and there's no fresher combination than blue and white, imo. If you think you really won't want to continue with it, maybe give it to someone who does like it and will finish it?

    I think this is absolutely beautiful. I am so sorry you are discouraged with it. Please put it away for awhile or give it to someone to finish, don't throw it to anyplace where you do not know what is going to happen to it. But thank you for posting. I had thought about doing this for my niece. Guess I will not.

    Wow, I think it is pretty. Quilting it appropriately would make it just pop. Beautiful.

    Make it into several baby or lap quilts. That's what I do with projects that are not going anywhere. You finish it in small pieces, someone gets a nice lap quilt, you don't feel guilty about throwing something away.

    I don't have an issue with your colors or the perceived lack of contrast from focus to background fabric. Not everything has to come out and hit you in the head color wise. tim in san jose
