    I might have used a brighter batik in the border. Bright quilts are so cheerful.

    I think it is great, one of the best T-shirt quilts I have seen! The batik adds a nice subtle variation of color to the solids, not too dark to me.

    I totally agree with this comment.

    Love the quilt, but I agree with Maniac, borders are a little too dark for a girls quilt (IMHO).

    I think it frames it up very nicely.
