I agree with this quilter. Older women LOVE bright colors and wear them quite beautifully. The bright colors in clothes brightens their complexion. Your Mom will love this as it is, also an application of a flower (lilac color perhaps) would enhance the jacket, but I feel it is perfect the way it is. PS I will be 73 in January and I would love to wear this. Merry Christmas

The jacket you made for your mother is beautiful! If you think it needs more purple, just suggest that she wear it with purple pants. That should be stunning!

This is not very blended is it? I think that the yellow has taken over. I even stippled in a purple thread to calm down the yellow, but it still is too bright. I have it hanging next to the computer and I almost feel the need to have my sunglasses on.

I would do NOTHING more to this.......I think it is wonderful the way it is..........without the bright yellow, the jacket would not POP......I personally ( and I am not a purple person) would love to wear this, just the way it is!!! NICE JOB!!
