The family is completely happy with this top and I am about to send it off to be machine quilted for them.
Personally, I think it may win the vote for the ugliest quilt I have ever made!
When it comes back and I can get a better full shot,it might look better. Most things do after they have been quilted and washed once.

I made a quilt for my son, 1/2 Oakland A's, 1/2 SF Giants baseball theme with disappearing 9 patch theme. He loves it and he is 12 now. Uses it everday and brings it along when watching TV on the couch. I can see little Vincent doing the same thing!

Perhaps add applique (hearts? blocks?) from dad's clothes, other dominant colors and add "Mom" "Dad" "Sis" "Dog" to the center block. That would pull more colors to the center and 'busy up' the white center square so it blends in more....
Yes, it did look a bit out of place. The backing is that same fabric. And, I do have lots of fabric left that I could make random blocks and scatter all around the back ... making the quilt reversible.
