    I don't see anything missing either, but if there is something that she likes (like cats, pumpkins or whatever) you could that in.

    I think it looks great...if you wanted to for a fun zip of color, you could add a piping between the blocks and border...maybe something like a lime green.

    What a thoughtful gift! I do think this captures the feel of the animation of Nightmare Before Christmas. The extra curlicues really make it! I don't think this is missing anything. It's going to make your friend feel so special and valued when it arrives.

    I like it very much as is, love that pattern.

    What about a moon with Jacks outline in it. About a third of the size of the quilt in the left bottom corner. It would be easy to do as a raw edge applique.

    Theres the swirl!

    This is delightful and NOTHING is missing. If you wanted to add a small personal touch though, an appliqued Halloween piece somewhere on the quilt would make it truely a friendship quilt between the two of you. I love it .........
