Default Trouble at the Koi Pond

I'm working on this for a local animal rescue organization to raffle for a fund raiser. I still need to add eye shine and whiskers on the cats. Before I quilt it, should I add butterflies, flowers, or another border? It seems a little dull to me.

This quilt is based on We Bearly Made It from Java House quilts. I drew cats to use instead of the bears and added a couple of pups.

Wow! That is so cute. They are going to love it. I like it as is. I could see quilting butterflies, flowers, etc in the background.
I hope we get to see the finished quilt. Your cats and dogs are wonderful.

I like it like it is. So very clever. I love it. Once it is quilted it will have more action.

I like it the way it is. I think adding anything else would detract from your great appliques already there.

it looks good the way it is. I'd use a dark blue for the binding, maybe. and quilting in butterflies would add more interest.

I don't think it needs anything but a dark blue binding. Adorable as it is.
