    My first reaction was 'fresh and cheerful', not childish at all. I love it and I'm sure she would too.

    I am way over 60 - actually a month from being 70 and I love it. Of course, you know your Aunt better than I do but I would appreciate a gift of this quilt. I would describe it as cheerful and not a bit childish. Just my opinion.

    would make a great lap throw. choose the off wh. background with all the colors in it for a border.

    I am 62 and I just love this quilt! It's happy and interesting and you used her favorite colors...I am sure she will just love it....after all it came from you. A small border of any of the darker colors would look lovely I think....great job!!

    I like it and I think your aunt will love it because it came from you. I think maybe it doesn't need a border. Just bind it in one of the darker blues.

    I like your quilt but it reads more like a lap quilt to snuggle under. But you know best. If it were me I'd make it into two lap quilts with borders.

    Maybe when she hits 73, she'll love it. I'm 73 and I just love it - not at all too childish.
