I too think that alternating the pinwheel blocks, along the side , top and bottom with plain blocks would take away from some of the busy look, maybe smaller pinwheels. You might also lay a strip of gold fab. in a thin border between the main part of the quilt and the pinwheels to see what that does. That is going to be just precious!!. I think that it would really add to the quilt if you used all white or alternated between white and the purple (if I remember by LSU colors) pararie points around the edges. I used the 3D pinwheels on a wall hanging and added the pararie points, I really liked the effect. You can always just pin some to see what it is going to look like. Check in pictures under my name for some finished work and some work in progress, there is a pic. of the wall hanging

I love the pinwheels, but I see what Dee is saying about size. I wouldn't want to back up either, so what about making the center panel bigger to even things out?? If not, what about adding some sort of border, between the panel border and pinwheels, to make the panel look bigger? Perhaps a black and white stripe border...or something else that may look as it is part of the panel? I am not a seasoned quilter, or remotely close, just trying to give perspective from a clueless person seeing a quilt for the first time :)

I would add another pinwheel strip to the right side and then add either a single border of one of your colors or a double border. I think the size and color of your pinwheels are really pretty and wouldn't change that. But balance it with another row of pinwheels on the right side.
What a great gift! :-)
