My only suggestion would be to separate the lightest tan fabric blocks and the busy print (black and tan beans?) blocks a bit so your eye travels over the quilt. My eye wants to stop and get stuck on those. Other than that -- and it's only a suggestion -- this looks like a great modern quilt to me. A young person should love it!

Thanks everyone! I will keep going. This is only a quick sample and there are more of one color than the other. I just wanted to get some going so once I get more done it should look a little more balanced. At least that is my hope

It might be exactly what your friend wants! I think you should show her before you change anything. (This is why I have so far refused all requests to make a quilt for someone else, to their specifications. I think I would lose the joy in this hobby if I were doing quilts to other people's tastes.)

I really like it as is. I think you are doing a great on it. I wouldn't change a thing.

Looks great to me! Use a narrow white inner border and a four inch dark blue border to finish it. Your quilt is an eye popper as it is. froggyintexas

I like that. It looks really good. Really, you just need to ask your friend.

I like the quilt. I don't see any problems.

It looks great! When you have all the blocks finished, you will probably lay them out in one spot, and be able to sprinkle the different colors as you wish. I really don't like all that white in the modern quilts, but you have just enough of it. It breaks up the other colors.

As for borders. I like Froggy in Texas' idea. But someone else suggested the gray print for the wide outside border. That would be good, too.

Have fun and enjoy the trip. I'm sure it will be loved.
