a fairly wide blanket stitch- with the needle right next to the shape- would help with your edges- then you could just quilt inside each shape-- echo quilting would be cute- it is so cute- don't give up.

it"s an adorable quilt. stitch around each shape as others have suggested, then step back for a while, breathe, and you will see it anew. It is so darling. the recipient will be happy.

Thanks to all of you for your encouragement--I will get back to it, based on your advice, and see what I can do. Will post it when it's done.

Thanks for your encouragement. I finished it by decorative stitching of little hearts around each of the shapes, and I used scraps for the binding. I actually really like it now. I don't know what I would have done with it without your suggestions.
This list is so good!
I plan to put the baby's name on one of the yellow shapes, and maybe the grandparents' names on one of the others (it's for the the grandparents).

it is darling. Good job and glad you like it now.
