My mom did a similar quilt years ago, and she did a white border, which I really love. It seemed to really enhance the central quilt. beautiful work!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282631333469688624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-69724911552676943582014-03-15T21:59:37.270+11:002014-03-15T21:59:37.270+11:00I agree with the commenter that said too much navy...I agree with the commenter that said too much navy would weigh it down. I like that it is just the centers sprinkled in. A little more white would be nice, but I especially like the fabrics with the little navy flowers and the blue or white backgrounds. I like them better as the petals and not the centers. I think a few more of the green centers sprinkled in would be nice as well. Good luck...can't wait to see the finished project!Joy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11814759273161921237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-36284137054725111092014-03-14T12:54:30.011+11:002014-03-14T12:54:30.011+11:00I think I would like to see a few more dark blues ...I think I would like to see a few more dark blues and some of the green.

I think adding a few more of the white with navy accents will give it that balance you are looking for without taking away from the softness of the quilt. <br /><br />PS. I love the fussy cut centers, they are just gorgeous!Elise Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09438500821288052061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-15842581903146860782014-03-13T21:35:06.006+11:002014-03-13T21:35:06.006+11:00Those are so pretty!

It's so fun playing with quilt blocks, isn't it? A couple of things you can do... Stand back from your quilt block layout and squint your eyes. That helps you to see how you might need to rearrange colors. Another tip that a friend gave me a long time ago was to take a picture and turn it into a black and white shot. Take a look at the piece without the color, just with the light and dark of the pieces. Can't wait to see your finished project.
